Jet Black
In his review of the album, Andrew Leahy of "AllMusic" gave the song a very positive review, praising its lyrics as well as the production, writing that "Like the other 11 songs on Jet Black &amp; Jealous, the revamped version of "When It Rains" gleams with commercial sheen, from its polished vocals to the crisp mix of banjo, pedal steel, and electric guitar. But there's also a fiery quality to the song, whose twang is balanced by Nashville-gothic lyrics ("It's good to see the world in pain when I take a walk outside") and rock &amp; roll guitars. Moments like that are the best part about Jet Black &amp; Jealous."
