PopMatters[3]

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".[2] 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"[3]
