	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Catherine Shoard The Guardian	"There's a generous pinch of very funny lines, mostly bestowed on Robbins. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A compassionate and frequently funny look at sex addiction that rolls out too many pat developments to muster much depth."	NEU
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"It means well, but finally, it's a lighthearted film that is ultimately weakened by too much star wattage. 'Thanks For Sharing' would have been better as a documentary. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU

United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'Thanks for Sharing' is all over the place trying to find a tone, but it knows where its heart is. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The movie never transcends a screenwriting formula that makes you uncomfortably aware of the machinery driving it all."	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Collectively, '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."	NEU
