Accompanied by the "Red Head Walking" and "Nancy Sin" singles, Dreamy was issued in 1991.[10]
The Chicago Tribune wrote: "It's a stripped-of-conventions, anti-pop stance that could sound just as calculated and empty as some elaborate pop productions, but Beat Happening imparts both quirky charm and a sense of immediacy to its material."[6] The St. Petersburg Times deemed "Collide" "one of the eeriest songs to come along in a while... It's eerie in a playful, sickly pretty way."[9]
