'''''Twilight Dreams''''' is an album by Lester Bowie, recorded for the UK-based Venture label. It is the third album by his Brass Fantasy group.

==Reception== The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated that "one imagines that this approach works better in concert than on record. There are some strong moments on this hard-to-find LP (such as Bowie's trumpet-drums duet with Phillip Wilson on 'Duke's Fantasy') but this is a hit-and-miss affair".<ref name="Allmusic">Yanow, S.

''Spin'' wrote, "Brass Fantasy weaves between the more billowy arrangements of 'Duke's Fantasy' and the title track, and rave-ups like 'Thriller'. The music, like his attire, is adorned in ways that keep you wondering, 'Is Bowie serious?'"<ref>{{cite magazine| magazine= Spin | title=Spins|author=Don Palmer| date=June 1988|issue=36|page=77}}</ref> {{Music ratings | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{rating|3|5}}<ref name="Allmusic"/> | rev2 = ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' | rev2Score = {{Rating|3|4}}<ref>{{Cite news |last=Davis |first=Francis |author-link=Francis Davis |date=31 March 1988 |title=Second from O'Kanes; jazzman reworks pop hits; a Chopin sonata |page=70 |work=The Philadelphia Inquirer |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/108408719/ |via=Newspapers.com {{open access|access-date=27 August 2022}}}}</ref> }}
