Signaling in a ten out of ten review from Cross Rhythms, Tony Cummings called the album "a great comeback".[5] Matt Conner, indicating in a four star review by CCM Magazine, stated "Losing My Religion is every bit the spirited, charismatic and powerful album you’d expect (and hope for) from the seven-time GRAMMY winner."[3] Awarding the album five stars at New Release Today, Dwayne Lacy stated, "This is vintage Kirk!"[6] Thom Jurek of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, praising the album for its message and concept saying "It's a rhyming, socio-political-spiritual manifesto, an admonition to evangelists that religion masks God's love and mercy; it's a barrier rather than a bridge."[2]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 35,000 copies.[7]
