Reception

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. It’s got that easily identifiable, winning Neptunes vibe and is filled with loopy pronouncements like ”It’s gettin’ sexy in here."{{cite magazine |last1=Sinclair |first1=Tom |title=Bad Boys II Soundtrack |url=https://ew.com/article/2003/07/18/bad-boys-ii-soundtrack/ |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=3 July 2021 |language=en}} A reviewer from IGN added, "It's typical Bad Boy flair, you know a simple, yet catchy as hell loop and groove created by Pharrell Williams and Lenny Kravitz over which the Didd lets loose with his languid flow, talking about his label, flossing, and his continued mourning of Biggie. Bad Boy newcomer Loon also drops on the track with an equally lax delivery augmented by a nice nasal twinge. Inescapably infectious."{{cite web |last1=D. |first1=Spence |title=Bad Boys II: The Soundtrack - IGN |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2003/07/17/bad-boys-ii-the-soundtrack |website=IGN |access-date=3 July 2021 |language=en |date=17 July 2003}}
