Production

She Talks to Rainbows was produced by Joey Ramone and Daniel Rey.^[11]

The EP contains two late-period Ramones songs ("She Talks to Rainbows", from ¡Adios Amigos!, and "Bye Bye Baby", from Halfway to Sanity), and versions of songs by the Beach Boys, Johnny Thunders, and the Ronettes. Brian Wilson had originally written "Don't Worry Baby" for Spector.^[12]

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly wrote that Spector's "bruised, cracked vocals work wonders on the Beach Boys' 'Don't Worry Baby'."^[4] The Village Voice wrote: "Tough and ruefully tender, a dialectic of vulnerability and guts runs through the four songs."^[13] Goldmine wrote that the EP "has a warmth and a richness that pulls you in from the first note, with Ronnie's voice as mesmerizing as ever."^[14]
