Editorial Review:
"Fantasy" provides the only real transcendent chapter on this album. Reinterpreting Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" with a percolating dance beat, the single emphasizes everything that makes Mariah Carey great. Her voice swoops, squeals, and careens over the seductive rhythm, while the words capture just the right amount of vulnerability and determination. Unfortunately, the thrill is short-lived, as the multiplatinum singer soon falls back into typical adult-contemporary schlock and pointless vocal gymnastics, particularly on "Melt Away" and the bombastic cover of Journey's "Open Arms." --Aidin Vaziri
Daydream Reviews:
What pop should sound like 
2009-12-08 - This is one of my all time favorite albums. Mariah's voice is impressive to say the least. The music is interesting, the bass is heavy and teh beats are thumping and the vocals are perfect. This is my favorite album of her's although the self titled is a close second. I enjoy it alot more than her later albums. She displays her amazing vocal range and has lyrics I can relate to. Check it out for yourself.
A Beautiful Album
2009-11-16 - Highlights are:
Fantasy
One Sweet Day
Open Arms

Mariah at her best!
Daydream Believer
2009-09-19 - By 1995, Mariah Carey was one of the most famous vocalists in the world. Her previous studio album, Music Box, was well on its way to Diamond status in the United States and had become a worldwide smash. For her next outing, she made some slight but not unnoticed changes to her pop formula. Daydream incorporates urban R&B and Hip-Hop into many of its songs, including lead single "Fantasy," which is built around a popular Tom Tom Club sample, "Genius of Love." That single would become one of Mariah's most successful, debuting at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. She collaborated with Boyz II Men on the eulogy "One Sweet Day," a song that turns tragedy into triumph. It is one of the most beautiful songs both Mariah and Boyz II Men have ever recorded, and it is still the longest-running number one in American chart history. On Daydream, Mariah began one of her most successful partnerships with Atlanta hip-hop producer Jermaine Dupri. The two co-wrote "Long Ago," her most urban song yet, and the smash hit "Always Be My Baby," a slice of infectious pop-soul perfection that remains one of Mariah's signature songs. The Minnie Riperton-inspired "Underneath the Stars," with its oozing harmonies and gentle bass and Rhodes piano, is one of Mariah and Walter Afanasieff's best collaborations. "Melt Away," featuring Babyface on background vocals, is an incomparable slow jam that Mariah produced by herself. She even brilliantly dabbles in house music on the David Morales mix "Daydream Interlude." Daydream managed to outsell even Music Box in the United States. It is quite simply her best album. It is the perfect blend of pop/adult-contemporary and urban/R&B, capturing Mariah at a transitional moment where she offers the best of both worlds. Her vocal control and flexibility are outstanding. She has never sounded more passionate or mature. If you have any early Mariah album, make it Daydream. 5 Stars.
One of Mariahs best albums
2009-06-11 - This is my favorite Mariah album. This was back in the 90's when Mariah would actually SING. These days she doesnt sing like she used to. Well Mariah is still my favorite female singer of all time.
Fantasy was a classic
