He's right that there's an element of bewilderment — or, at least, the modesty of maturity — in this more ruminative, less rhythmically moored take.

The soloist, now more ruminative, calms the proceedings. British musicologist and writer Arnold Whittall considers this movement "more radical and forward-looking" than the opening one, "its textural and tonal conflicts embodied in a polyphony which is elaborate even by Tippett's standards, and with a tripartite form which is progressive rather than symmetrically closed"—a-b-c instead of the usual a-b-a.Whittall, 156 3\. Vivace. While the opening Allegro might have evoked the Beethoven Fourth Concerto, the finale is more akin to the same composer's "Emperor" concerto, implied from the opening key change from B to E-flat and the high spirits of the music on the whole.

Another theme to this play could be how in 1997 a study was produced with findings that revealed that Jewish men had depression rates twice as high as non-Jewish men. The study's reasons were due to alcohol but others came up with other conclusions. One in particular fits this play very well. “Dr. Susan Nolen- Hoeksema has attributed the greater susceptibility to depression to their more ruminative style of coping when distressed… it may explain the vulnerability to depression in Jewish men, whose religious training reinforces a ruminative quest for knowledge” (Why are Jewish…) Reuben is obsessed with finding an answer; his inability to find that answer leads him farther and farther down the path of depression.

Tiny Mix Tapes wrote that first half's "spacious" production recalls the "electric soul influence" of Shuggie Otis, while Jody Rosen observed "chord changes straight out of [Stevie] Wonder's Innervisions, airy vamps that nod to [Marvin] Gaye's Here, My Dear, [and] snarling guitars that recall Prince's Purple Rain". Chris Richards of The Washington Post compared its melodic sensibilities to those of Gaye and Wonder, and its loose song structures to those of D'Angelo, Maxwell, and Erykah Badu. Time magazine's Melissa Locker noted melodramatic elements such as "haunting melodies" similar to The-Dream's 2007 album Love/Hate. Less melodic and hook-oriented than Nostalgia, Ultra, Channel Orange features subtle melodies and articulation, spatial arrangements, and mid-tempo drum beats, although the more ruminative songs feature slower tempos.

Critical reception to the album was mixed, with writers acknowledging the album's uniqueness but questioning its lyrical and musical quality. Sam Davies of The Wire wrote, "There are hits and misses: platitudes and cliches, interspersed with bursts of surreal genius. [...] So much indie hiphop tries to challenge mainstream orthodoxy through a cryptic acceleration of thought and voice [...] but Lil B's slower, more ruminative delivery here feels far braver for being more exposed and vulnerable." A positive review in Vice called Lil B "the most revolutionary MC of the last 15 years," but said Rain in England is not a good starting point for people new to his music because the album is "a bit too raw for most life forms to process".
