Can rear shocks affect comfort at the front?

Question

Can bad rear shocks affect the ride quality at the front of the car? Or are they only noticeable for back passengers?
My car was really "bouncy", so I replaced the front shocks. Even though the ride has become more comfortable, it is still far from ideal as I can feel every groove on the road. Should I also replace the rear shocks or do they have no impact on front comfort? Are there any other parts that I should consider changing/replacing?
There was a similar question, but the answers didn't really talk about comfort:

It looks like the answer is yes - rear shocks can affect the comfort at the front.
According to the accepted answer below, replacing just the front shocks is not sufficient. It seems to be best to replace both the front and the rear shocks.
