Producers on the album include Brian Higgins and Xenomania as well as Steve Booker, Harvey Mason, Jr., Kuk Harrell, Stephen Lipson, Soulshock & Karlin, Alex da Kid, and Al Shux.

In the UK, it was eventually certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales in excess of 300,000 units.

The Alesha Show was preceded by the Xenomania-produced single "The Boy Does Nothing",[2] which became a top ten and a gold-seller in the United Kingdom.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, The Alesha Show has an average score of 68 based on 4 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews,"[3] Allmusic editor Jon O'Brien found that "the seven songs produced by the team behind Girls Aloud is full of exciting, hook-laden, spiky dance-pop [...] Much more inventive than expected, The Alesha Show cleverly manages to appeal to both the older Strictly crowd who revitalized her fortunes, and the younger Radio 1 crowd who supported her earlier girl-band days.

"[4] Alex Foster of the BBC praised Dixon on launching a well orchestrated comeback, saying "Modern celebrity is a fickle beast.

[12] Nick Levine of Digital Spy stated that "Dixon tries her hand at everything from 60s glitz ('Cinderella Shoe') to synthy R&B ('Breathe Slow') to mellow ballads ('Don't Let Me Go'), managing more often that not to pull it off [...] Not unsurprisingly given its relentless genre-hopping, The Alesha Show does feature a few misfires.

[13] However, the review ended on an optimistic note, saying that "these quibbles aren't enough to sink an album that's often as lively and likable as the woman who made it".
