Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - dreaming, 1988

"Stewart Mason, in a retrospective review for AllMusic, described the song as "dynamite", and wrote: "['Dreaming'] is easily the group's best single since 1983's 'Telegraph'... It's a near-perfect pop song, perhaps the last great single by an '80s synth-pop band." Classic Pop's Mark Lindores called it a "massively underrated OMD anthem". Conversely, McCluskey named "Dreaming" as a track he wishes OMD had never released, while criticising its lyrical content. The song has nevertheless been ranked among the best of 1988, and of all time."

Seapony - dreaming, 2011

"All initial sings point to the kind of hazy electro-pop we've heard so much of these last couple of years, yet when you actually press "play" on this Seattle indie rock trio's new single, you get something quite different and ultimately much more direct. This breezy, guitar-driven gem is compact and tuneful, getting by more on clear and simple statements than fuzzy allusions."
