    The star of this record is the production team with a nod to Kirstin Gundred's powerful vocal performance. The first half of this record is full of some of DDG's best ever songs, unfortunately there is a bit of a come down on the latter half that takes away some of it's momentum. Still, a very good record from a band to keep an eye on.

    It's a record that reveals previously hidden depths. [Nov 2011, p.93]

    While I wish that Only in Dreams offered more adventurous songwriting or a more varied sound, it's still an achievement in its emotional tenacity.
