Reception
Paste writer Ben Salmon placed the song in the top spot of his 2018 ranking of the band's best songs, calling it a "masterwork of '90s electric guitar tone, a clinic on melody making and harmony singing, and a lesson about optimizing our limited time here on Earth [...] "Ain't That Enough" is an ecstatic exhale of a song bathed in sunlight."[2]
