| Reel Gospel | 4.5/5 |
Indicating in a four-star review at CCM Magazine, Matt Conner writes, "fortunately NF digs deeper on an impressive second album." 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." 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." 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."
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." 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." 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 judgments that his career is meaningless." Signaling in a 4.5 out of five review for Reel Gospel, Carlin Doyle states, "dark and intense, but real." 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."
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".
Therapy Session debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200 selling 29,184 album-equivalent units in the first week. It also charted at number 1 on the Christian Albums Chart and number 1 on the Rap Albums chart. As of October 2017, it sold 122,000 copies in the United States.
