Shadows on a Dime is a folk-rock album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Ferron.

Don Shewey in Rolling Stone called the album "a feast of excellent musicianship and fine songwriting" and "a thing of beauty" and says of the production, "The album's many moods are superbly reflected in Terry Garthwaite's production, and ideal instrumental touches keep the more contemplative songs from sounding drab".

The Washington Post published a good review which compares the album favourably with other albums released by other artists associated with the "Women's music" genre at the time, including Barbara Higbie and Teresa Trull who appear on this album: "With her haunting folk drone, her jabbing gypsy guitars and fiddles, her torrents of metaphors (and her descriptions of lesbian relationships), she challenges the field as it's never been challenged before.

She is the first major artist to emerge from its ranks," wrote Geoffrey Himes.

Regarding how her songs address friends facing difficulties in relationships he writes, "With a courage too rare in pop music, Ferron doesn't offer her friends easy solutions for their problems, but forces them to face up to difficult reality".
