Electronic Dream received positive reviews gaining an average rating of 80 from Metacritic which normalizes critic scores out of 100.[7] Pitchfork's Tom Breihan gave the album 8.2/10, earning it a "Best New Music" accolade, writing, "There's something truly fascinating about the entire LP: An up-and-coming hardcore rap producer leaving his genre behind so that he can twist and scramble this hands-in-the-air big-room sound. And in peeling back its excesses and substituting in his own eccentricities, Araab uncovers a primal emotional force in this music, one that fits beautifully with his own air-raid siren aesthetic."[4] Tom Lea of FACT rated the album a 4 out of 5 and, while admitting there is "nothing 'cool'" about Electronic Dream, states that it's "a thousand times more vital and full of life than the majority of the overproduced, diva-for-hire vocal tracks coming out of the UK." The song "Streetz Tonight" came under fire from trance producer Adam K, whose remix of Kaskade's "4AM" was sampled for the song.[8] The track was later removed from the standard edition as well as subsequent deluxe editions of the album.
Pitchfork placed the album at number 40 on its list of the "Top 50 albums of 2011".[9]
