The label relented and "Ain't Nobody" was issued and hit number one on the R&B chart for the week ending October 15, 1983.

The accompanying music video for "Ain't Nobody" was directed by American film director and producer Antoine Fuqua.

[23] Larry Flick from Billboard called the song "smashing", and stated that Graham "returns with a grand reading of a Rufus pop/soulnugget.

This one, however, is the real deal, thanks to Graham's considerable charm as well as a plethora of mixes that range from peppy NRG to muscular house.

But the Chaka Khan song is a soul classic and Jaki Graham gives it a good shot, even if her voice doesn't seem quite powerful enough for its bitter-sweet melodrama.

It was released in October 1995 by Columbia Records and Work Group as the third single from their debut album, Tougher Than Love (1995).

"[39] Pan-European magazine Music & Media noted that the follow-up to 'Shy Guy' sees the Jamaican vocalist "lose some of [King's] rough dancehall edges in favour of a smoother R&B sound", adding that the chorus is "pure, uplifting modern soul.

"[40] A reviewer from Music Week rated it three out of five, writing, "A fairly standard cover of the Chaka Khan classic, with strong production.

"[43] Dele Fadele from NME felt the atmosphere in Bob Marley's old Tuff Gong Studios, where 'Ain't Nobody' was recorded, was "sprinkling a little spiritual dust on an off-kilter rhythm that defies gravity and Diana's big ole show-off of a voice.

"[38] Ralph Tee from the Record Mirror Dance Update stated, "'Shy Guy' turned out to be an international smash and this follow-up has similar crossover opportunities.

He added, "The rap vet playfully unfurls his patented love-talk on top of an insinuating classic-funk bassline.

"[67] Alan Jones from Music Week felt that "LL Cool J's comeback with "Ain't Nobody" is more workmanlike than inspired, with all the lyrical dexterity we expect from him."

He noted that "it includes an un-named femme who takes over to sing the chorus though this simply draws attention to what a good vocalist Chaka Khan is.

The song is a pseudo-mashup, taking the lyrics of "Ain't Nobody" and placing them over an instrumental interpolation of the Human League's "Being Boiled".

It was deemed "instantly memorable" by RTÉ.ie reviewer Linda McGee,[92] whilst Louis Pattison of NME believed it was "Truly, a record to get over-excited about.

"[94] Writing for ukmix.org, Martin P gave the song five stars out of five and called it "It's pure pop perfection with a twist of R&B – one of the best Liberty X singles!

In 2015, German music producer and DJ Felix Jaehn released a remix titled "Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better)" featuring vocals by British singer Jasmine Thompson.
