"Yours, Dreamily, captures the spontaneity of players in a room as they come up with something new in the moment," writes NPR's Mike Katzif. "Right from the drop, Yours, Dreamily, ignites like a cigarette flicked on a stream of gasoline. The snarling melodies, warbling horn lines and in-the-pocket beats transport listeners into the album's pulpy world of '70s exploitation films and gritty biker-gang movies."
The Arcs are Dan Auerbach, Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss, and Nick Movshon. Also featured on the album are Kenny Vaughan and Mariachi Flor de Toloache. Katzif later declares Yours, Dreamily, to be "one of Auerbach's most ambitious and fully realized albums" and the band to be "an enduring, endlessly rewarding collaboration."
