I wouldn't put it past Dee Dee to be the leader of the pack."〔 The ''New York Times'' echoed this viewpoint in Jon Caramanica's positive review stating "''Only in Dreams'' ... seethes with a beautiful, raging confidence, louder and fuller than anything they’ve done before, and better than the onetime peers they’re leaving behind."〔 ''musicOMHs Gareth Ware's 4/5 review also agreed that "(in Dreams'' ) showcases a remarkably assured collection of songs."〔 ''Allmusic'' was more critical of the Dum Dum Girls' new direction, "All this realness could be a deal breaker especially since ''Only in Dreams'' isn’t a fun and immediately enjoyable album like ''I Will Be'' was."〔 ''Popmatters'' wasn't impressed with the overall sound of the album, "Everything is layered and burnished into an eardrum-blasting sameness. There are no standouts or outright bombs, just 10 Dum Dum Girls songs; no more, no less.".〔 Joe Marvilli from ''Consequence of Sound'', in his negative review also states that ''Only in Dreams'' needed more variety, "you can only take so many variations of the same theme."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Only in Dreams (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
