Reception
Allmusic said "It's similar to both The Dreamers and O'o, but the playing of this group never gets old. ...Pellucidar is another great offering from Zorn's most accessible project". PopMatters stated "The peculiar thing about Dreamers is that despite the stunning musical acumen of all involved, they aren’t really what one would call a "musician’s band". Their performances are impressive, but in a subtle way. There are no flights of fancy, just an atmosphere to drape over your senses. When a cozy blanket is covering you, you don’t think about the individual fibers. And when you listen to a Dreamers album, you don’t think about Trevor Dunn’s time in Mr. Bungle. You think about how sweet life is and how having another Dreamers album is now a part of that sweet life"
