Billboard (November 13, 1971):
This husband and wife team has always provided one of the most exciting concert acts possible and it's about time they had a real album winner. This entry will do it. "I Love What You Do To Me" has the feel of "Proud Mary" with Ike's bass voice pouring heavy. Other standouts include "Sweet Flustrations," "Moving Into Hip Style-A Trip Child" and "What You Don't See." Watch it Go! [10]
Cash Box (November 13, 1971):
The fact that Ike & Tina can drop "Turner" from their act's name shows how popular they've gotten since touring with the Stones and starring in the "Soul To Soul" movie. The husband-and-wife team aim to please their expanded audience with a new look on the record jacket and a new sound inside. [11]
'Nuff Said was digitally remastered and released by BGO Records on the compilation CD Come Together/'Nuff Said in 2010. [12] In 2018, the album was reissued on CD by Universal Music. [13]
