Liked this entire album immediately. The Dums Dums are definitely in charge.

Maybe they should appear with BSS?  Okay. Enough with BSS & Co. for a while. I think I O.D.'d. (Which is a glorious way to die...)

Only in Dreams is the second album by Dum Dum Girls,^[3] and was released September 26, 2011.

***

The album received generally positive reviews upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 74 based on 26 reviews, which indicates "Generally favorable reviews".^[14]

Spin awarded the album a rating of 8/10, writing, "Gundred's richer-than-you-expect voice is the key to these jagged little pillows, whether dryly noting that a guy's 'Just a Creep,' soaring on 'Coming Down,' or lacing her echoes with sorrow on 'Hold Your Hand,' a reflection on her mother's death."^[13] In Lindsay Zoladz's 7.6 out of 10 review, Pitchfork Medialauded the album's melodic risks within the genre of garage rock revival, "Only in Dreams isn't a perfect record, but a little while down the line it might end up looking like the beginning of something-- the first steps forward for the band, or perhaps a raising of the bar for this entire revival. I wouldn't put it past Dee Dee to be the leader of the pack."^[10] The New York Times echoed this viewpoint in Jon Caramanica's positive review stating "Only in Dreams ... seethes with a beautiful, raging confidence, louder and fuller than anything they’ve done before, and better than the onetime peers they’re leaving behind."^[8] musicOMH's Gareth Ware's 4/5 review also agreed that "[Only in Dreams] showcases a remarkably assured collection of songs."^[7]
