In Between Dreams is the third studio album by singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, released by Brushfire Records in the United States on March 1, 2005 (see 2005 in music).
The album received generally mixed reviews from music critics.
[11] MacKenzie Wilson of AllMusic describes Johnson as "stick[ing] with what he does best" on the album;[1] this has led some critics to characterize the album as feeling "safe" or unambitious.
[1][9] However, Barry Walters of Rolling Stone argues that Johnson explored new content with more politically minded tracks like "Crying Shame" and "Staple It Together".
[8] Most critics have described Johnson's delivery as laid-back or mellow;[1][3][8] some tracks were also characterized as employing a "light reggae lilt", a stylistic choice which was generally criticized.
