"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

 One Of Mariah's Best And Most Loved January 23, 2010

Mariah Carey is an artist I have a hard time not liking. There is something about her quirkey attitude and voice that I really enjoy and admire. 1995 was the year of Mariah.
While she isn't Patti Smith Mariah Carey is a good song writer. Many people don't realise it but she writes all of her songs. Most of the songs on Daydream are about love but it is an easy thing for her fans to relate to. One Sweet Day is an exeption. It is about losing someone you loved but never getting to tell them how you feel.
Some other highlights of Daydream are Mariah's best single moment Fantasy and Always Be My Baby which is one of the strangest break up songs I have ever heard. Instead of being upset the girl in the song says she knows they belong together and her boyfriend will come back someday. Long Ago and Underneath The Stars are probally the best songs not to be realesed as singles from the album. The low moment on the album is the throw away Open Arms.
In conclusion, while I think Mariah's best album is Butterfly Daydream is probally her most loved effort. I'd reccomend to fans of pop music and Mariah.
4.5/5 Stars

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.

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.
