Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "the one most overt Krautrocking number of the bunch, 'Auroura Borealis', is pretty much a shorter version of Neu!'s 'Fur Immer', but it makes up for the near plagiarism with yet another soaring yet deceptively simple guitar solo that evokes a beautiful blue sky to go with the open road." Exclaim! wrote that the album "contains epic pop gems that give atmosphere to whatever room it's played in." Phoenix New Times called it "sweet, viscous instrumental rock," writing that "it may be some of the most beautifully expansive music you hear this year."

The Washington Post praised the "elastic, jazzy rhythm section that works in great counterpoint to guitarist Jimmy Lavalle's ringing lead lines." The Tallahassee Democrat thought that "the album title is a perfect description of the band's instrumental approach, which blends rock with smooth beats and jazzed-up tempos." The Arizona Republic wrote that Dream Signals in Full Circles "combines shimmering guitars with gently minimalist rhythms and Stereolab-style tape loops."
