Chart performance


When "Just Another Dream" was first released in 1989, it charted on the UK Singles Chart for 2 weeks in December 1989, peaking at number 93.[1] In 1990, the song was remixed by Shep Pettibone (credit for the mix is shared with Dancin' Danny D) and released in July of that year on Dennis' album Move to This.

In September 1990, a shortened edit of the album remix was released as a single in the United States. It reached the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1991, peaking at number 9 on 2 February 1991. It also peaked at number 2 for three weeks on the Billboard dance charts.

"Just Another Dream" was then released in the UK again in July 1991, with the same version and artwork as the US single release. This time it received substantial radio airplay and peaked at number 13, remaining on the chart for 7 weeks.[2][3]


Critical reception


Alex Henderson of AllMusic viewed the song as one of the high points of the album.[4] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Singer who enlivened D-Mob's pop hit "C'Mon And Get My Love" steps into the solo spotlight with this disco-styled house cut, which has already received clubland kudos as an import. Guided by D-Mob mastermind Dancin' Danny D, Dennis' star power is undeniable as she romps through the tune with unabashed charm and confidence. Sounds like a multiformat smash."[5] Elysa Gardner from Entertainment Weekly noted that the "percolating" production "is the real star here".[6] A reviewer from Music & Media described it as "quality commercial dance-pop. The groove stands tall while the sweet melodic pop melody seems just right for Dennis's fresh girl-next-door vocals. Kylie in clubland."[7]


Music video


Two music videos were produced for the different releases. The first was directed by Russell Young and released in 1990.[8] The second was directed by Gregg Masuak and released in 1991.[9]
