"[7] In Dream is the second album to feature the new line-up of the band with Justin Lockey and Elliott Williams alongside founding members Tom Smith, Russell Leetch and Ed Lay.
[9] The album is Editors' first record to draw in other artists, with the band recruiting Slowdive's Rachel Goswell for vocal duties on "Ocean of Night", "The Law" and "Oh My World".
[13] The single was released in the form of 300 hand stamped 12" test pressings, randomly placed and sold in selected Oxfam stores in the UK, Germany and Belgium.
On the day of the album release, the band played an intimate concert at the Paard Van Troje venue in The Hague.
[24] Andrew Trendell of Gigwise described the album as "a record that's not only highly evolved, but as rich as it is infectious - packed with life, colour, poetry and ideas.
This is the kind of accomplished work of sophisticated pop that deserves to be filed alongside the likes of Depeche Mode and Radiohead.
[17] Lee Adcock of Drowned in Sound gave the album a 7/10, and said that "in spite of In Dream’s polite frills, big crowdpleasers, and abstract ideals, Editors still hold fast to a sense of self that throbs harder than ever.
All songs written and composed by Tom Smith, Russell Leetch, Ed Lay, Justin Lockey and Elliott Williams.
