Release
The Hindustan Times gave the film a rating of one-and-half out of five stars and wrote that "If this film was meant to be about women’s empowerment, fantasy is a strange way to go. If it was meant to be a caper, the few laughs it raises are entirely unintentional".{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/review-mere-khwabon-me-jo-aaye/story-8dj9Cko3hMq2zzTmPbXaBI.html|title=Review: Mere Khwabon Me Jo Aaye|date=6 February 2009|website=Hindustan Times}} The Times of India gave the film the same rating and wrote that "Was it supposed to be about female empowerment, wish fulfilment, self-realisation or clandestine romance? Can't say, 'cause nothing really comes through in this completely garbled venture which sees Raima Sen sharing sweet nothings with ready-for-a-fancy-dress Randeep Hooda who happens to be as unreal as the film itself".{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/mere-khwabon-mein-jo-aaye/movie-review/4083037.cms|title=Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye Movie Review {1.5/5}: Critic Review of Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye by Times of India|newspaper=The Times of India }} Indian Express wrote that "This could have been a nice, light-hearted lark. What we get instead is a lost opportunity, top lining Arbaaz who doesn't get to crack a single smile, Raima who tries very hard to rise above the script, and major irritant Randeep, who changes costumes and strikes poses".{{Cite web|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/movie-review-mere-khwabon-mein-jo-aaye/420129/|title=Movie Review: Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye - Indian Express|website=archive.indianexpress.com}}
