Reception
editTina Roumelioti of Buzznet gave the EP a positive review, saying, "My only wish is that this album were longer, but good things come in small packages. Take a moment out of your day to pick up Acoustic Dreams, lie on your bedroom floor with a pair of headphones and start dreaming."[4]
Matt Collar of AllMusic gave a brief, indifferent review, noting, "...Acoustic Dreams, finds the California-based pop/rock outfit taking several tracks from its 2013 full-length album, Talking Dreams, and reworking them in an acoustic style. Featured here are such Echosmith fan favorites as "Let's Love," "Cool Kids," "Tell Her You Love Her," and "Talking Dreams." Also included is one new, never-before-released cut, "Terminal.""[5]
Music blog It's All Dead, in a review of the album's vinyl LP release, noted, "Overall, Acoustic Dreams is a great collection of songs, but the label did the band no favors with the release’s lack of extras. Regardless, it’s a fun release for fans of the band..."[6]
