The Philadelphia Inquirer determined that "there are a few good, dreamy melodies here, but for the most part, this Southern rock band trades too heavily on its musical resemblance to R.E.M."[7] The Washington Post wrote that, "if guitarist Barry Marler's Byrdsisms are too familiar ... the trio's consistent writing and playing make Father's House one of the more serviceable byproducts of the burgeoning folk-rock revival."[8] The Los Angeles Daily News opined that, "taken in large doses, Dream So Real's hypnotic flower-power sounds are just too lethargic."[6]
