PITCHFORK

Above all else, it's the best M83 record yet.

86
BEATS PER MINUTE

It shows an artist at the top of his songwriting game, but perhaps without the thick and palatable sense of cohesion definitive and prevalent on past releases.

80
NO RIPCORD

It’s a sweeping, expansive album, that covers a lot of ground and leaves the listener satisfied.

80
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

Although Dreaming sports slower, more introspective ballads, there’s also a pantry’s worth of interstellar jams, chock full of sounds you’ve probably never heard before.

70
MUSICOMH

It possesses some of M83's most varied material to date, yet still functions as a coherent body of work.

67
A.V. CLUB

For an album of such impressive scale and nanoscopic attention to detail, Dreams leaves a surprisingly light impression.

50
DROWNED IN SOUND

Here the impulse is more towards the portentous, Fairlight-raddled, heart-on-sleeve vacuity of mainstream Eighties transatlantic rock-lite than the soaring-indie stylings of Saturdays
