Icarus is the fourth album by American musical group Paul Winter Consort.

Reviewing for Creem in 1973, Robert Christgau called Icarus a "kind of a classical/jazz mix but with none of the stiffness that suggests—inquisitive, contemplative, eclectic, peaceful.

"[6] Michael Tearson from Audio later said the music can be called "chamber jazz".

[7] In a retrospective review, AllMusic's William Ruhlmann gave Icarus three-and-a-half out of five stars and said "Winter's finest album marks a transitional point in his career from jazz to his own brand of contemporary instrumental.

But one can simply revel in the lovely melodies, the contemplative sounds, and the tasteful production of George Martin, especially on the justly famous title track by Ralph Towner.
