Electronic Dream received positive reviews gaining an average rating of 80 from Metacritic which normalizes critic scores out of 100.[7] Pitchfork Media writer Tom Breihan gave the album 8.2/10, earning it a "Best New Music" accolade. Tom Lea of FACT rated the album a 4 out of 5 and, while admitting there is "nothing 'cool'" about Electronic Dream, states that it's "a thousand times more vital and full of life than the majority of the overproduced, diva-for-hire vocal tracks coming out of the UK". The song "Streetz Tonight" came under fire from trance producer Adam K, whose remix of Kaskade's "4AM" was sampled for the song.[citation needed]
Pitchfork Media placed the album at number 40 on its list of the "Top 50 albums of 2011".[8]
