Sep 12, 2014In A Dream is brand new, but has the feel of a timeless dance record, the kind of record that is pulled from the crate on the most special (and danceable) of occasions.
-
Sep 22, 2014It’s an album that will make your heart swell with joy in a club or will make your lip quiver with emotion on headphones in your bedroom. There are few dance producers who possess the skills to harness both these feelings and John Maclean has managed this masterfully here.

Q MagazineSep 4, 2014It's clear that MacLean and Whang have never sounded better. [Oct 2014, p.112]

Oct 13, 2014With In A Dream, Maclean and Whang have crafted some of most expertly tuneful music of their career.

Sep 17, 2014And while that album [Less Than Human] started the ethereal journey, In a Dream powers those elements into something superhuman.

Oct 13, 2014In A Dream is certainly not going to alienate those who adored The Future Will Come, yet it should be said there are notable points of evolution--most importantly Whang's prominence and the diversity of Maclean's songwriting. But it is difficult to place this above The Future Will Come, as despite the brilliance that Whang radiates throughout, there are up to three songs that sap momentum with their lack of vim.

Sep 18, 2014Essentially what the Juan MacLean have here is a straightforward pop album, but as with the worst pop albums, the amount of filler overwhelms the killer.
