The Show is his most immediate and engaging set to date, endlessly listenable and full of heart and charm.

Overall, this is undoubtedly Niall Horan’s finest and most mature album to date – and was certainly worth the wait.

Horan’s emotional acuity, his musicianship, and confidence in his own instincts are there for all to see.

One Direction's Irish bard is full of feelings as he approaches thirty.

Short but sweet, his third album reminds us that former One Direction alumni beyond Harry Styles are available.

Characteristically candid, ‘The Show’ is a collection of songs about love and fear, but more than that, it’s a collection of songs filled with hope. Whether you’re seeking it, sustaining it, or somewhere in between, these songs are here for you.

Harry Styles has next to completely soured on me, but nothing reminds me of how much his discography is the best case scenario like when one of his former band mates releases something new.

This record actually starts off decent, then descends into boring and commercial pop from around the halfway point. The better tracks on here show a mature side to Niall's songwriting that I wish he'd lean towards more often, flexing his potential as an artist.

Na minha opinião, depois de Harry Styles — de longe o melhor artista vindo do One Direction —, Niall Horan é o ex-membro da boyband britânica que conseguiu construir a discografia mais consistente. Por mais que nenhum registro dele apresentasse uma qualidade surpreendente, todos os álbuns que havia lançado eram uma coleção de aprazíveis canções. 'Flicker' era um disco agradável, ainda que faltasse bastante ... read more
I wasn’t sure if would like this, But here we are.
Thr Show is a pretty complete experience compared to his last release “Heartbreak Weather”.
The first track is the main single, “Heavan” and I love that song. Other than Heaven, I enjoy self titled track “The Show”, besides those two, there isnt too much else thats all that interesting, the rest is basic pop music.
Overall “The Show”, is a decent release and an improvement for Niall.

AllMusic gave this the same score as Hounds of Love
Really makes you think (I'm not upset btw, just thought it's kinda funny to think about)
