Dream was released in 1978 on A&M records, and included the hit singles "You Never Done It Like That" and "You Need a Woman Tonight". The album was recorded throughout their own studio (Rumbo Recorders). Title track marked the conclusion of a 1940s standards show. "You Never Done It Like That" was originally recorded by Sedaka on his album A Song.
Record World said of "You Never Done It Like That" that "Toni Tennille's semi -sexy vocals are highlighted, driven along nicely by a heavy pop bass line." [1] Record World said that "You Need a Woman Tonight" "has a slight Caribbean beat and is sparked by Toni Tennille's compelling phrasing and the Captain's keyboards." [2] The StarPhoenix called Dream "a strong album, which proves Toni Tennille's vocalizing talents are far-reaching." [3]
