Ich möchte nochmals auf die fantastische Pitchfork-Kritik hinweisen. Das Album erhält 10.0 als Wertung, was der Rezenent folgendermaßen begründet:
„I don’t expect to hear too many complaints about the rating above. Daydream Nation is a great uniter: You’d be hard pressed to find many fans of indie rock who don’t have some love for this record. That’s partly because this record is great, sure– that’s one boring reason– but it’s also because this record is one of a handful that helped shape the notion of what American indie rock can potentially mean. It’s almost a tautology: Indie fans love Daydream Nation because loving stuff like Daydream Nation is part of how we define what indie fans are.„
