Bring 'Em All In is the debut solo studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter Mike Scott, released by Chrysalis on 18 September 1995. The cover and album photography were provided by Niko Bolas, Stefano Giovanni, Jeff Mitchell and Scott. The song "What Do You Want Me to Do?" was later covered by Rod Stewart.
Upon its release, Music Week stated, "Not blues, not rock, not folk, but an agreeable mix of all three from the former Waterboys frontman. Occasionally beautiful." Neil McKay of Sunday Life described Bring 'Em All In as Scott "back to form with his most consistent, most satisfying album since This Is the Sea" and one which presents him "stripped raw, both musically and lyrically". He noted the "gorgeously simple melodies" of "Wonderful Disguise", "She Is So Beautiful" and the title track, and considered "Long Way to the Light" to "partially explain the spirituality that imbues all 13 tracks". Simon Evans of The Birmingham Post considered it an "intensely personal and courageous collection of songs" presented in a "simple setting". He did not feel that Scott "convey his spiritual awakening as powerfully as Bob Dylan on 'Precious Angel' or even, in a different context, John Lennon's 'God', but considered the album, for "all its faults", including the "occasional lapses into lyrical naivety", to be a "brave and admirable [one] worthy of further investigation".
