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." [8] 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." [9] Tucson Weekly called the album "a staggering mix of blues, folk and jazz styles." [10] City Pages concluded that Peyroux "can make the most exalted and exacting homages reflect the rustlings of her own soul." [11]
In December 2005, the Observer Music Monthly ranked the album at number 48 on their list of top 100 albums. [12]
