A Man Ain't Supposed to Cry is a 1958 album by the American jazz singer Joe Williams arranged by Jimmy Mundy.

[2] John Bush, reviewing the album for Allmusic, praises Williams as "an excellent balladeer with a rich vibrato and the confidence to let a straight reading speak for itself".

[2] Gramophone critiqued the arrangements as using "strings quite excessively" and Williams's performances as "stress[ing] sentiment rather than swing".

[3] The initial Billboard review from February 3, 1958 said that the album was a "convincing, well-performed ballad set" and that Williams's talent was "formidable".

Mundy's orchestral arrangements were "mellifluous yet unobtrusive".
