Entertainment Weekly declared that "singing and playing with Rush’s smoldering authority and depth ought to be illegal—or at least declared dangerous."[17] The Chicago Tribune appreciated that "there are no duet distractions on a well-constructed program that's dominated by sizzling covers of vintage Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and Louis Jordan songs."[1] The New York Times called the album "excellent," writing that "Rush is one of the finest living exponents of Chicago blues."[18] Rolling Stone opined that, "while Ain't Enough Comin' In would need a bit more frenzy on the frets to be the ultimate Otis Rush album, it's one of the best blues discs of the decade."[5] Stereo Review called Ain't Enough Comin' In "a strong album by a master talent," writing that "particularly satisfying is the title track, with its savvy allusion to the bass line that drove Michael Jackson's 'Billy Jean'."[19] USA Today deemed it "a solid step toward righting an often fumbled career."[16] AllMusic wrote that "everything that makes Otis a unique master of his form is here to savor, from his passionate vocals to the shimmering finger vibrato he applies to the liquid tones of his Fender Stratocaster."[14] MusicHound R&B: The Essential Album Guide thought that it "has the best sound of any Rush album."[11] Track listing
