Dreamland is a 2022 studio album by American musician Amos Lee.
Reception Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Matt Collar writing that this music offers "a soulful musical balm for a troubled world" that "is relaxed in tone, pitched at the speed of early afternoon sun streaming through an open window". In American Songwriter, Lee Zimmerman gave this album 4 out of 5 stars, calling it a "decidedly telling narrative, one that details a journey to discovery" that "echoes the notion that an empathic attitude can allow us all to sleep a little more soundly". Writing for No Depression, Matt Conner summed up his review that "Lee bares [his emotional scars] for all to hear, and the album is somehow made all the more beautiful for it".
