Background

"We'll Go Dreaming" was Tzuke's first single release since 1985 and her debut release on the Polydor label. It reached number 96 in the UK Singles Chart but suffered commercially after failing to achieve airplay on BBC Radio 1 and other UK radio stations. [2] Speaking to the Liverpool Echo in 1989, Tzuke said of the song, "It's about getting away from the reality of everything." [3]

Music video

A music video was filmed to promote the single. In an interview, Tzuke revealed, "I was very nervous making the video. I hope it doesn't show but there's one shot which makes me look like Kylie Minogue for grown-ups!" [4]

Critical reception

Upon its release, Ian Russell of The Kilmarnock Standard praised "We'll Go Dreaming" as having "all the hallmarks of a classic Tzuke record – unique vocals and a rich, atmospheric production". [5] Julian Baggini of the Reading Evening Post considered it to be a "very powerful and dramatic dance song" which "firmly lodges itself in your mind" and "has a lot of chart potential". [6]

Bob Eborall of the Hammersmith & Fulham Independent described it as a "strong, beaty ballad" which "should make people take notice". [7] Ian Forsyth of The Press and Journal gave the single a three out of five star rating. He considered it to be a "lively number" and "reminiscent of the recent offerings by Heart and Pat Benatar". He added, "One complaint would be that she doesn't seem to have developed much over the years. She was producing records just like this around five years ago." [8]
