Writing for AllMusic, critic Evan Cater wrote of the album, "His singing voice still sounds young and somewhat green... there was still plenty of room for growth. Rain is not nearly as polished as Mulvey's mature label-backed efforts. But if Brother Rabbit Speaks is the musical equivalent of an embarrassing high school yearbook photo, Rain is a portrait of the artist as a young man.." [1]
