Reception

auspOp described the song as a "glorious burst of dazzling pop sunshine".{{cite web|url= https://www.auspop.com.au/2014/04/rufus-sundream/|publisher=auspOp|title=RÜFÜS : Sundream|date= 17 April 2014|accessdate=26 May 2018}}

Larry Day from Music OMH said ""Sundream" skitters through the white-hot synth pads of '90s Ministry of Sound chillout compilations, Ibiza afterparties and the dawn breeze on a hangover. It's holiday hedonism encapsulated in 4:35 of blissed-out aural Bacchanalia."{{cite web|last=Day|first=Larry|title=RÜFÜS – Atlas|url=http://www.musicomh.com/reviews/albums/rufus-atlas|publisher=musicOMH|accessdate=21 August 2014|date=25 April 2014}}
