Music critic David Freedlander praised the release in his Allmusic review, writing Brown "Brown produces an album as light and refreshing as a summer breeze. Although it is plagued by the inconsistency which characterizes most of his studio work, some of his most heartfelt and enduring songs can be found on this album..."[1] Bill Wyman of Entertainment Weekly wrote "... on Dream Café he's more varied musically — he'll do a grinding blues and even flirt with jazz. Also, he wields simpler but more forceful melodies, and is still very capable of pulling off a marvelous portrait, as in the moving Spring Wind."[2]
