Critical reception
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."[2] 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."[3]
