Reception


"Rainbow" was the follow-up single to the UK top-three and US top-ten single "Reflections of My Life". Billboard wrote that "this folk favored rhythm ballad follow up has all the sales and chart potency of the recent smash".[2] Cash Box wrote that the "Deep brown bass line, Hollies-like harmonies, and some warm mouth harp work add up to a dynamite summer sales package".[3]
