[5] Tom Sinclair of Entertainment Weekly wrote, "”Show Me Your Soul,” a propulsive mash-up that features the unlikely alliance of Diddy, Lenny Kravitz, the Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams, and a new rapper named Loon.

Bad Boy newcomer Loon also drops on the track with an equally lax delivery augmented by a nice nasal twinge.
