Sweet Dreams: The Anthology is a compilation album by American guitarist and blues musician Roy Buchanan. The double CD contains released as well as previously unreleased recordings, live and studio. According to Mike Joyce, who reviewed the album in the Washington Post, it "presents the good, the bad and the unreleased from Buchanan's tenure with the Polydor and Atlantic labels." The anthology is part of PolyGram's "Chronicles" retrospective series.

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)."
