In what sense is Hebrews critical of the Old Testament and is this an attack on the Old Testament itself?

I don't think Hebrews is critical of the Old Testament and is certainly not an attack on the Old Testament.
The letter was written to people who were thinking of going back to the old system of sacrifice when they were beginning to be persecuted for being Christians. Hebrews deals with the struggle involved in leaving one religious system for another ie leaving Judaism for Christ, and as the writer shows, this involved leaving shadows for the substance, ritual for reality, the good for the best.
The writer uses Old Testament people and events to show that Jesus, Messiah, is better than Judaism.
