adam mazmanian of "the washington times" described the song as "a gritty slow grind with a salacious bassline" and noted that knowles "delivers a near parody of a good-girl voice" while singing the chorus. ryan dombal of pitchfork media wrote that "sweet dreams" sounds like a song rihanna would sing. echoing dombal's sentiments, nick levine of digital spy wrote that the best song on the "sasha fierce" disc is a "dark[ish] electropop track called 'sweet dreams', [which] actually sounds like the cousin of rihanna's 'disturbia'". on a separate review for the single, levine awarded "sweet dreams" a rating of four stars out of five, and commented that the song seduces listeners with its catchy chorus hook, and thereafter keeps them intrigued by "placing a hint of darkness just beneath the shiny, synthy surface". spence d. of ign music wrote that though "sweet dreams" is not a "stellar track", it is superior to other album tracks, including "diva" and "radio". similarly, vicki lutas of bbc music wrote that even though "sweet dreams" appears to lack something, it is undeniably a good song overall. she added that "sweet dreams" may not be knowles' finest or most memorable work, but it remains her best offering since her 2003 song "crazy in love". lutas also commended knowles' vocal delivery, which he described as "beautiful and soft, yet strong and powerful". talia kraines of the same publication wrote that "sweet dreams" is one of the standout tracks on the "sasha fierce" disc though knowles does not get as experimental as she did on her 2006 song "ring the alarm".
