Critical reception

Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic The Encyclopedia of Popular Music The Rolling Stone Album Guide

Writing in Trouser Press, reviewers held forth praise for just one song ("Depending on You") and remarked that "the album is attractive but flimsy — competent technique in search of a spine and a direction. In other words, it sounds like the work of a band on the verge of breaking up — which, in fact, Rain Parade did not long after the album's release." In a separate review published in Creem, Ira Robbins described the band's various musical appropriations and concluded that "Rain Parade is all dressed up – in other people's clothes – with no place to go." The Los Angeles Times noted that "the lyrics written by Paraders Matt Piucci and Steve Roback tend to drag down the complete aural experience these guys seem to be going for."
