Dreamsville is the debut studio album by jazz singer Stacey Kent. It was released in 2001 by Candid Records.
This was Kent's fourth studio album, it was produced by Alan Bates and features her husband, tenor saxophonist Jim Tomlinson.
David R. Adler, writing on Allmusic.com gave the album three stars out of five. In his review Adler said that "...Kent may or may not be "the greatest ballad singer in half a century," as her PR claims, but her straightforward renditions of these by-request ballads are not at all generic...There's a certain brassiness, a trumpet-like pointedness, in her voice, as well as a host of endearing idiosyncrasies.
Adler reserves praise for Kent's accompanists, describing Jim Tomlinson's clarinet solo on "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" as "sumptuous" and the interplay of the band on "Little Girl Blue".
