Allmusic said "Dreamachines does vary widely in terms of style -- especially for a chamber group -- but Zorn is a magician when it comes to creating compositional, dynamic, and textural balances -- when he wants to be. And here, in using multiple styles and through careful strategic sequencing, he delivers an exciting sonic tapestry".[2] Martin Schray stated "Dreamachines picks up Burroughs’ and Gysin’s innovative style, the absence of linear stories, the cut-up technique and their fascination for so-called routines and neologisms. Especially the cut-up technique has always been a crucial element of Zorn’s music (to the extreme in Naked City) which has always given a dramatic surprise to his compositions... Great album, indeed".[3]
