Waking and Dreaming is the fourth studio album by American pop rock band Orleans. It was released on August 1976 by Asylum Records. The album reached number 30 on Billboard's Top LPs & Tape chart and spawned the singles "Still the One" (number five) and "Reach" (number 51). Cash Box said of "Reach" that it "exhibits harmonic similarities to ['Still the One'], substituting a funky beat for the shuffle."[2] Other reviewers found gospel music elements in "Reach."[3][4] Cash Box said of "Spring Fever" that "a saxophone gets it sizzling, and sinewey pop melodies and confident harmonies from this versatile collection of musicians keep it going."[5]
