A soul ballad,[1] "Come In Out of the Rain" received positive reviews from music critics and became Moten's most successful hit, peaking at number 55 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 46 on the Canadian RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart. In 1994, the song was released in Europe and Australia, reaching the top 10 in Iceland and the United Kingdom. Despite the song's success, Moten would release only one more album before being dropped by Capitol Records.[1]
