      Critical reception



      Lindsay Planer, in a review on Allmusic, writes in a review that gives the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, "until Buchanan's catalog is given a thorough overhaul, Sweet Dreams: The Anthology (1992) is a satisfying overview of the man once dubbed 'The Best Unknown Guitarist in the World.'" Mike Joyce of the Washington Post was most impressed with "a gorgeous guitar reading of 'Sweet Dreams,'" besides the live songs, especially "an expansive and expressive version of Neil Young's 'Down by the River' (featuring Billy Price on vocals)."
