"Aside from some soundtrack material during the 2010s, Dreaming is Michael Rother's first solo effort since Remember (The Great Adventure) was released in 2004. That album marked a departure from his extensive back catalog, being his most collaborative solo work, as well as his most purely electronic, exploring a form of dreamy ambient pop. On Dreaming, Rother fleshes out sketches dating from the Remember sessions, preserving some of that album's feel while fusing it with traces of his past work and pushing into further directions. Sophie Joiner, one of Remember's two guest vocalists along with German rock superstar Herbert Grönemeyer (who runs Grönland Records, home to the Rother and Harmonia discographies), reprises her role on Dreaming, and her breezy, unforced flow provides an extra layer of comfort (and sometimes emotional pull) to Rother's languid, effervescent soundscapes."

"A fascinating release not merely for Eno's participation but for the hints of music that would become mainstream in the future. Indeed, opening cut "Vamos Companeros" has an intense guitar line from Rother that in its nervous, choppy way suggests everything from Wire to Bauhaus, not to mention Eno's own noted production clients, U2. Having already created two excellent albums, the core Harmonia trio was easily placed to whip up a third, with Eno the wild-card factor who turned out to be a perfect addition. While contributing some lyrics and singing at a time when he was steering away firmly from both in his own solo work, most of the time Eno lets the band speak for itself musically, most notably adding snaky, quietly threatening basslines. Compositions range from the lengthy to just fragments. The explorations in ambient sound and mysterious and murky textures make the end results well worth hearing." (Ned Raggett, Allmusic)
