Street Dreams was met with "mixed or average" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 51 based on 13 reviews.[2] Billboard found that Street Dreams was a "little too padded for its own good, and a handful of tracks suffer from all-too-familiar samples that have been used in recent hits by other artists. Luckily for the Brooklyn, N.Y.-based rapper, the appeal of the album's best moments, coupled with its star power, compensate for any shortcomings."[9] Nathan Rabin from The A.V. Club called the album "disappointing" and wrote: "While a delight on guest appearances, he has yet to prove that he can construct memorable songs, let alone a solid album. Fabolous may not be in Jay-Z's league lyrically, but as a conspicuous consumer, he's poised to give the Roc-A-Fella big shot a run for his money."[10] Entertainment Weekly's Ta-Nehisi Coates found that "the ideas are thin and the beats thinner [...] Fabolous himself comes off as being lighter than Jared from Subway — with all of Jay-Z’s arrogance, but none of his charisma."[4]

Commercial performance

Street Dreams debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 with 185,000 copies sold in its first week.[1] This became Fabolous' second US top-ten debut.[1] In its second week, the album dropped to number seven on the chart, selling an additional 92,600 copies.[11] In its third week, the album dropped to number eight on the chart, selling 64,000 more copies.[12] On September 22, 2003, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over a million copies.[13] As of August 2004, the album sold over 1.3 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen Soundscan.[14]
