Booklist, in a review of Albidaro and the Mischievous Dream, wrote "The guardians seem patched onto the story, and the kids' protective teddy bears are too cute and cloying. The fun here is the wild dream of rebellion, the cacophony of animals silly enough to act like people, and the satisfying return to order.". The Horn Book Magazine called it a "convoluted and unbelievable tale" and wrote "Pinkney's artwork is as lively and attractive as ever, but it doesn't rescue the poorly written story." Albidaro and the Mischievous Dream has also been reviewed by Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, and The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.

Raspe, probably for fear of a libel suit from the real-life Baron von Münchhausen, never admitted his authorship of the book. It was often credited to Bürger, sometimes with an accompanying rumor that the real-life Baron von Münchhausen had met Bürger in Pyrmont and dictated the entire work to him. Another rumor, which circulated widely soon after the German translation was published, claimed that it was a competitive collaboration by three University of Göttingen scholars—Bürger, Abraham Gotthelf Kästner, and Georg Christoph Lichtenberg—with each of the three trying to outdo one another by writing the most unbelievable tale. The scholar Johann Georg Meusel correctly credited Raspe for the core text, but mistakenly asserted that Raspe had written it in German and that an anonymous translator was responsible for the English version.
