Critical reception
editPan-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 119+2⁄3bpm breezy swinger featuring Courtney Pine's squealing sax and some gospel-ish insistently repetitive title line chorus support".[3]
