[2][3] This album features duets with Barbra Streisand and Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle, as well as twelve solo tracks.
[7] The singer promoted the album on talk shows, in a popular PBS Great Performances special and through a national concert tour with symphony orchestras at Lincoln Center, throughout the U.S. and elsewhere.
[11][12] Evancho performed nearly the same songs as those on the Dream With Me CD for her first solo concert televised special, which first aired in June 2011 on PBS stations ("The Prayer" was omitted, but "Dark Waltz" and "Mi Mancherai" were added).
[14][23] Allmusic noted: "the concert version ... sounds nearly identical (outside of the waves of applause) to the studio album ... but the accompanying DVD, which features the heavily choreographed performance, as well as an extensive photo gallery and interviews with both Evancho and Foster, should provide enough eye and ear candy to appease fans of the gifted young vocalist until a proper follow-up appears.
[29] Evancho made her New York City concert debut at Avery Fisher Hall with songs from the album on November 7, 2011.
[31] After presenting her concert in Japan in January 2012 with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Evancho resumed her U.S. "Dream With Me" tour later the same month in California.
"[42] USA Today rated the album 2-1/2 stars out of four: "[Evancho's] sweet, unblemished vocal tone and slow, careful vibrato hardly betray her young age.
But Dream's predictable and often bombastic odes to love and faith can undermine the tween's most appealing quality: innocence.
"[43] People magazine gave the album three out of four stars, comparing Evancho favorably with her duet partners Barbra Streisand and Susan Boyle.
[44] The reviewer for Kelowna Capital News in Canada called Evancho a "massive talent [who] seems equally adept at operatic arias, pop songs and show tunes.
