D-Ream On Volume 1

[1] The album also includes the song "U R the Best Thing", which was released three times in total.

These included "U R the Best Thing" which stalled at number 72 in the UK Singles Chart on first release in July 1992.

The biggest hit however was "Things Can Only Get Better" which on initial release in 1993 reached number 24, but on re-release in early 1994, peaked at number one in the UK charts.

[2] Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "Producing uplifting, eclectic and superior dance music that pleases the brain as well as the feet, D:Ream are clearly fans of Italo house, whose joyously pumping piano-based elements are frequently employed here.

But they also turn their hand to old-fashioned disco, and "Star" is a fine ballad.
