Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media described "Like Dreamers Do" as a "mid-tempo jazzy single from this promising young singer". 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." James Hamilton from Record Mirror wrote in his dance column, "Huskily and quite jazzily sung tumbling and tapping 119+2⁄3bpm breezy swinger featuring Courtney Pine's squealing sax and some gospel-ish insistently repetitive title line chorus support".
