 The song was rated #8 in Q Magazine's "20 Greatest Guitar Tracks" in September 2007.
-In 2002, [[Cuomo]] infamously stated on the [[Rivers Correspondence Board]] that "Only In Dreams" was "GAY GAY GAY DISNEY GAY!!!" He also remarked how his brother, [[Leaves]], was embarrassed by the song.  Cuomo also claimed that he stole the bassline from another song and that he only put it on the album because he needed another song ("Only in Dreams" supposedly being the only song left). This has become controversial for many die-hard fans of Weezer because Rivers has stated that he had over one hundred songs before the making of ''[[The Blue Album]]''.  It is, however, still considered by many fans as one of the band's best songs, and by some, Cuomo's magnum opus.

 When asked in 2006 which Weezer guitar solo he is the most proud of/likes the most, Cuomo answered, "I'd have to go with 'Only in Dreams' and [''[[Make Believe]]'' track] '[[Haunt You Every Day]]' for sheer length. Epic, epic, epic.  So few people play these kinds of solos anymore."
