Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media described "Like Dreamers Do" as a "mid-tempo jazzy single from this promising young singer".^[1] David Quantick from NME said "...this somewhat is not 'One Temptation' although it would do me if the weather was better. Time to wait for the album."^[2] James Hamilton from Record Mirror wrote in his dance column, "Huskily and quite jazzily sung tumbling and tapping bpm breezy swinger featuring Courtney Pine's squealing sax and some gospel-ish insistently repetitive title line chorus support".^[3]
