Electronic Dream received positive reviews gaining an average rating of 80 from Metacritic which normalizes critic scores out of 100.[5] 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".
Pitchfork placed the album at number 40 on its list of the "Top 50 albums of 2011".[6]

Notes
- "Streetz Tonight" was never officially released on any version of Electronic Dream, although popular pirating websites have included it as part of the bundle, as the song was produced around the same time. "Streetz Tonight" came under fire from trance producer Adam K, whose remix of Kaskade's "4AM" produced by Adam K & Soha was sampled for the song.
