Washington Post writer Joe Sasfy considered "Show Me" to be a "stunning pop song" and a "somewhat uncharacteristic, at least for Hynde, of the value of love and hope." Akron Beacon Journal reporter Glenn Gamboa called in a "gorgeous love song" in which Hynde characteristically combines good and bad by incorporating lines such as "Welcome to the human race, with its wars, disease, and brutality". Mother Jones writer Ariel Swartley felt that the song showed Hynde as being more fiery yet more compassionate in light of her newborn child, with lines like "Welcome to a special place/In a heart of stone that's cold and grey/You with your angel face/Show me the meaning of the word." Swartley explained that Hynde is looking for her baby to show her the meaning of the word "love", and in a way that is "selfless, nonhorny, overpowering" in a way that is atypical of the use of the word love in rock songs.
