Critical reception

The Orlando Sentinel wrote: "For all its elegance, Peyroux's vocal style doesn't seem fully developed yet. However, on Dreamland, she shows exquisite taste and great promise." Time said that "Peyroux has a bittersweet, brokenhearted alto; she lingers and slides off notes, finding emotion in the slow, sad fade rather than the obvious vocal burst." Tucson Weekly called the album "a staggering mix of blues, folk and jazz styles." City Pages concluded that Peyroux "can make the most exalted and exacting homages reflect the rustlings of her own soul." In December 2005, the Observer Music Monthly ranked the album at number 48 on their list of top 100 albums.
