Indicating in a four star review at CCM Magazine, Matt Conner writes, "fortunately NF digs deeper on an impressive second album."[3] David Craft, allotting the album three and a half stars from Jesus Freak Hideout, believes, "In no way is NF lacking in talent or creativity, but he could afford to exercise a tad more patience. This album doesn't seem quite ready for release, evidenced by the short, one-year gap between Mansion and Therapy Session. Regardless, NF has blown past the sophomore slump, creating a project well-worth listening to."[6] Awarding the album four and a half stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Kevin Hoskins writes, "Many are not going to like the pure raw emotions here, but I am a fan of someone who can offer something outside of the box and this fits that bill perfectly."[7] Mark Rice, rating the album three and a half stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, states, "Personally, I'm ambivalent towards NF's approach, but it makes for a good, thoughtful, and memorable listen. I do hope. however, for NF's sake, that he experiences some personal growth before his next album so another dark excursion isn't necessary."[8]

Giving the album four stars from Jesus Freak Hideout, Lucas Munachen describes, "Therapy Session, is a strong step forward and delves into even darker themes....Therapy Session may be one of the year's most memorable rap albums, but I have a feeling it only scratches the surface of NF's talent."[9] Christopher Smith, allocating the album a four star review for Jesus Freak Hideout, believes, "Therapy Session is a rewarding and refreshingly honest listen if you can embrace it" where " The solid bars, simplistic yet cinematic production, and honest songwriting make this a solid and memorable sophomore release."[10] Haley Black, indicating in a four out of five review at Highlight Magazine, says, "He bellows powerfully, building momentum, projecting his path as a musician and reliving the judgements that his career is meaningless."[5] Signaling in a 4.5 out of five review for Reel Gospel, Carlin Doyle states, "dark and intense, but real."[11] Chris Major, rating the album a 4.9 out of five, writes, "Therapy Session addresses the grief, regret, and anger stockpiled in Mansion, hitting home with NF's intense lyrics and undisputed honesty."[4]

David Jeffries of Allmusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, praising the album for its "theatrical production" and described the album as "chock-full of raw emotions and honesty".[2]
