- 75IndieWireIndieWireThough Blumberg treats the topic with admirable frankness, the film’s insights would’ve had more impact if he wasn’t so quick to hop to the next storyline whenever matters get especially thorny.
- 63McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreMcClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThanks for Sharing is a bit of a head-snapper in its tone changes, stumbling into flippancy. The light moments are appreciated, but they do tend to undercut the sobriety of it all.
- 60The GuardianCatherine ShoardThe GuardianCatherine ShoardShame was erotic compulsion turned into opera, full of sombre vibrato. Thanks for Sharing is probably the more realistic, as well as more mainstream, and there's a generous pinch of very funny lines, mostly bestowed on Robbins.

- 50The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyToo much of what happens as the characters undergo their various brushes with failure and redemption feels predetermined, slapping what aims to be a much savvier film with a debilitating touch of the formulaic.
- 50VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeCollectively, Thanks for Sharing boasts more than enough personalities to keep things interesting, but it lacks the casual spontaneity to make these characters’ journeys anything other than predictable.

- 42The PlaylistKevin JagernauthThe PlaylistKevin JagernauthNever quite as deep or probing as it thinks it is, Thanks For Sharing is an unsatisfying tease.
- 35Film.comLaremy LegelFilm.comLaremy LegelThanks for Sharing can’t quite find its footing as either a drama or a comedy, and near the end it’s actively sliding off the rails.
