Critical reception

Upon the release of the single, pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Although the overall feeling here is mellow with some ambient influences shining through, B.G.'s latest is still very much a dancefloor killer. Its crystal-clear sound and strong hooks should help it find a place on radio as well." [2] In their review of the album The Time Is Now, they wrote, "Now they are reaping what they've sown with the current single 'The Colour of My Dreams', which is likely to become a major Euro dance hit all over the continent."
