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 & 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 & roll guitars. Moments like that are the best part about Jet Black & Jealous."[2]
The first music video premiered in 2006[3] The second music video was directed by The Brads and premiered in 2008.[4]
The song spent 37 weeks on the country charts and peaked at No. 34.[5]
