It was released as their debut single from the album, Pharao and hit success in many European countries, peaking within the Top 10 in Austria, Finland, Germany and Switzerland.

Critical reception[]

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Pairing of lovely Indian singer Kyra Pharao and rapper Dean Thomas sparks with chemistry. She flutters over a frenetic pop/rave groove with an angelic quality, while Thomas' guttural rhymes are a fine anchor to the track's glossy synths."[1] Cash Box said, "Utterly pretentious in its opening in a way that you can’t help but love, this smash in Germany sounds like some kind of space-age L.S.D. trip through the cosmos." They added, "Going beyond techno, "I Show You Secrets" is a song that is at least interesting, and while everyone knows what that normally means, it’s an accurate word for this song and it’s not an insult. Pharao’s five-song single tries something new."[2] Music & Media commented that the act "is already rapidly climbing the Media Control charts with an imposing housetrack with trancy overtones. This comes as no surprise really, as it easily holds its own against some of its more familiar competitors."[3] John Kilgo from The Network Forty deemed it a "superb dance number".[4]
