Losing My Religion (album)

Critical reception

Signaling in a ten out of ten review from Cross Rhythms, Tony Cummings opines, "a great comeback." Matt Conner, indicating in a four star review by CCM Magazine, describes, "Losing My Religion is every bit the spirited, charismatic and powerful album you’d expect (and hope for) from the seven-time GRAMMY winner." Awarding the album five stars at New Release Today, Dwayne Lacy states, "This is vintage Kirk!" Daniel Cody, reviewing the album for Wade-O Radio, writes, "Losing My Religion is a challenge to the listener." Giving the album three stars from The Christian Manifesto, Cal Moore says, "while Losing My Religion offers new songs, it doesn’t really offer anything novel." 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." Signaling in a four star review at The Christian Beat, Madeleine Dittmer writes, "Kirk Franklin has masterfully created an album with excellent music, talented vocalists, and an inspiring and challenging message woven into the songs." Josephine Amoako, indicating in a 87 out of 100 review for Jesus Wired, states, "the...album...sums up the affirmation of our own personal relationships with God because of the testimonies one can recount of walking with Him while listening to it."
