In her review for AllMusic, Paula Edelstein states "Parker's basslines exchange and transform the compositions into textured applications of free jazz, loaded with unfamiliar improvisations and shifting between crisp and blunt and through blues, bop, and free" Pitchfork's review noted "The album generally sticks with a strident, determined tone, with echoes of 60s and 70s protest music-- Conquest often evokes the spirit of, say, Abbey Lincoln on Max Roach's ''Freedom Now Suite''-- yet the lyrics don't signify opposition so much as they dream of alternatives: a better world, more justice, watermelons that grow on trees... These are wild visions, but they sure seem real, and even attainable, when Conquest sings of them".〔Dahlen, C., (Pitchfork Review ), August 20, 2002〕 ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz'' observed "There is something refreshingly sanguine and upbeat about all the music on this record".〔 〕 The All About Jazz review noted "What marks ''Raining on the Moon'' as unique in Parker's long list of recordings is its raw accessibility. Listeners from various backgrounds will find this disc inviting and exciting. And if that serves the purpose of introducing Parker's vision to new ears, it's more than done its job".〔AAJ Staff, (All About Jazz Review ), May 20, 2002〕 PopMatters enthused "With ''Raining on the Moon'', Parker gives evidence to back up his large stature in creative music, showing himself to be a modern day Charles Mingus. Here, he proves once and for all that any divisions between mainstream jazz and its more avant garde brethren need only be drawn in the minds of myopic listeners".〔Kenyon, J., (PopMatters Review ), September 19, 2002〕
