Released in October 1996, "In Your Wildest Dreams" was the seventh and final single released from the album and was issued in a wide range of formats and versions; the promo 12-inch singles featured remixes by, among others, Deep Dish and Pink Noise. Certain European CD singles also included two live recordings from the Wildest Dreams Tour, "Missing You" and "GoldenEye". While the song failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number one on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100, it found more success abroad, reaching number two in Austria and charting within the top 40 in Flanders, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
The version of "In Your Wildest Dreams" featuring Antonio Banderas was included on Turner's 2004 hits compilation All the Best.
Larry Flick from Billboard remarked that the duet "pits her feline purr against White's seductive growl on top of a slow and shuffling funk groove." He also noted that the single features Turner's duet with Antonio Banderas, saying, "This version is actually a bit sexier, riddled with ear-grabbing electro-pop riffs. Check out both versions and pick your fave."[2] A reviewer from Music Week rated the song three out of five, adding that "the presence of White's deep, seductive vocals entices Turner into her most soulful effort for ages, but it cannot cover up the shortcomings of the song."[3]
The American music video for the song was created by the Aardman Animation Studio, and features claymation versions of Turner and White in comical situations with cameos by Antonio Banderas and Wallace and Gromit.
