Release and reception

''Candy Rain'' peaked at twenty-three on the United States ''Billboard'' 200 and number five on the R&B Albums chart. The album was certified platinum by August 1995. While Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic did call the group "undoubtedly fine singers," he didn't feel they were strong enough to make some of the weaker material on the album very convincing.
