Reception

Publishers Weekly wrote that Phantom Dream would appeal to fans of Takaya and Fruits Basket. According to the reviewer, the plot was "generally predictable" and lacked depth, and the character designs were typical of her work.{{cite journal|title=Phantom Dream, Volume 1|journal=Publishers Weekly|volume=256|issue=2|date=January 12, 2009|page=35|issn=0000-0019}}
