Return of the Wanderer is a studio album by American musician Dion.

[4] Dion would not record another secular album until 1989's Yo Frankie.

[5] The Minneapolis Star noted that many songs sound "too much like Elton John or Billy Joel.

"[11] The Morning Call deemed the album "a pleasant, sensitive and upbeat attempt at a comeback.
