Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone opined that The Show is "full of laid-back Laurel Canyon-inspired ballads, heavy on the mellow, full of feelings about looking for sanity in a time of personal turmoil", remarking that it is "touching to hear get so intimate on his own" and complimenting the "empathy" he brings to "power ballads" like "Heaven". Writing for Clash, Hannah Sinclair found that Horan "does not disappoint with his latest eclectic release" and that the album "explores deeper meanings to previous work after having time to reflect on life during our multiple lockdowns", summarising that it "is undoubtedly Niall Horan's finest and most mature album to date – and was certainly worth the wait". Laurel Canyon references mingle easily with Eighties synth-pop and Noughties guitar rock". She wrote that it "finds Horan moving towards the lusher production sound of his former bandmate Harry Styles. Roisin O'Connor of The Independent called the album "the apotheosis of Horan's classic rock sound, which he has been carefully honing ever since his solo debut" and "beautifully cohesive". The Show was met with critical acclaim by the music critics, it received a score of 83 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on seven critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".
