Bassist and singer Geddy Lee said: "I love the spirit of 'Dreamline' and the way Neil captures that feeling of wanderlust and invulnerability that comes in a particular trying time in your life."[2]
Reception
Martin Popoff said that the song is "strafed by a crouching-then-striking verse and clouds-breaking chorus. It’s a track that proved to be strong enough to open the Different Stages live album seven years later then stay tenaciously in the set for the Vapor Trails tour."[3]
AllMusic writer Eduardo Rivadavia called the song "gutsy" and also said that "Dreamline" is one of their best songs from the '90s.[4]
