[3] "Show Out" is a drill song,[2][4] featuring a "distortion-heavy instrumental and the relentless flows that Cudi zings back and forth" with Pop Smoke and Skepta.
Wongo Okon of Uproxx wrote, "Despite it fitting right in Pop's lane, Cudi and Skepta get comfortable with ease on the song, proving for a satisfactory collaboration from the trio.
"[2] Ellie Spina gave the song a "Very Hottttt" rating on HotNewHipHop and called it a "hard-hitting, hauntingly hyped up banger featuring not one, but two of rap's finest".
[6] Will Lavin of NME praised the song, writing, "Venturing into new territory, Cudi's drill excursion is more about letting off steam than it is about indulging toxic energy.
He proclaims that he 'ain't no bitch', his bravado running rampant over the whirring baseline and menacing hi-hats, standing triumphant with a crew whom Skepta claims carry 'guns same size as Kevin Hart'.
