Writing for website The Digital Fix, Luke McNaney described the DVD as "above average" and praised both Sia and the directors for the "peculiar and worthwhile visions" included in it. Thom Holmes of Contactmusic.com expressed his opinion that fans of Sia would "love" TV Is My Parent, though he struggled to understand why, and that watching the DVD was "laborious". Lindsay Zoladz mentioned in her Vulture review of Sia's 2016 album, This Is Acting, that the DVD shows Sia as a "bubbly and loquacious" person who is "twitchy but comfortable in her skin".
