Reviewed in Rolling Stone Australia at the time of release, Samuel J Fell rated Dream of Reason at three-and-a-half out-of four stars and explained, "The much anticipated debut LP from the Cairos is an epic sprawl of an album, a tour de force... these songs build and build before breaking over you, a strong psych flavour at the fore, they differ in that these tracks are somewhat gentler and more fluid. A bit more warmth has also been included."^[3] Milly Schultz-Boylen of the AU Review gave it 7.4 out-of 10 and found its tracks, "are well crafted, diverse and boast a sense of maturity that most debuts tend to lack."^[4]
