Ryan Keeling of Resident Advisor wrote, "Dreams Are Not Enough is a remarkable return that achieves things the first three Telefon Tel Aviv albums were never quite able to." He added that "the best quality of Dreams Are Not Enough is the fusion of its emotions, as positivity and negativity flow into each other like convergent tributaries of a river." Paul Simpson of AllMusic called the album "An absolutely crushing listen, and every bit as powerful as the previous three TTA albums." Haydon Spenceley of Under the Radar commented that "the record is best enjoyed whole, with headphones, concentration, and responded to with adulation." He said, "Dreams Are Not Enough is 2019's best electronic album, hands down."
