In the United States, the Lizzie McGuire version was released on Radio Disney, and it received significant airplay despite a highly publicised split between Duff and The Walt Disney Company.

June 13 2003, vol. 11, no. 24, UPFRONT, pg. 3(1).] According to "Billboard" Radio Monitor, it was the ninth biggest song on the station in 2003. ["Radio Disney's Top 30 Of '03". "Billboard" Radio Monitor. July 9 2004, TOP 40 AIRPLAY MONITOR.] The "What Dreams Are Made Of" music video shows scenes from the film and the breakthrough scene in which Lizzie is performing with Paolo in front of an audience with backing lights and dancers.

"The Village Voice" called it "a great song, a virtual one-tune Italo-disco revival", [Saunders, Metal Mike. [http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0323,saunders,44552,22.html "The Avrilette Awards"] . "The Village Voice". June 10 2003, Music, pg. 59.] and "The News Tribune" referred to it as "a ditty that's like brain Velcro: It sticks in the head. And sticks. And sticks." [Andersen, Soren. "Disney's 'Lizzie McGuire Movie' seems like MTV video segments". "The News Tribune". May 2 2003, South Sound, pg. 11.] The "Lowell Sun" wrote, "the song they [Paolo and Lizzie] sing together should be called "This Is What Nightmares Are Made Of", because it will echo through your brain like a stubborn migraine. After the fourth time you hear it, unless you are a young girl, you will want to thrust your hands over your ears, scream like a maniac and make a mad dash toward the nearest exit." [O'Connor, Austin. "Middle school set will love 'Lizzie'". "Lowell Sun". May 1 2003, MOVIE REVIEWS.]

The recording of the song released on the 2004 album "Superstar Kidz 2" was sung by Madeline Melnyk, the grand prize winner of the first Superstar Kidz National Talent Contest. [Walt Disney Records.
