Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Although the overall feeling here is mellow with some ambient influences shining through, B.G.'s latest is still very much a dancefloor killer. Its crystal-clear sound and strong hooks should help it find a place on radio as well."

Music video

The accompanying music video for "The Colour of My Dreams" was directed by Swedish-based director Matt Broadley. It was A-listed on Germany's VIVA in June 1994.
