In Reverie is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Saves the Day, released through DreamWorks Records on September 16, 2003.

On release, the album received much criticism due to the drastically new creative direction taken by the lead-singer/guitarist and song-writer Chris Conley.^{[citation needed]} The band's two previous albums, Stay What You Are and Through Being Cool, were received favorably and displayed a trademark style of the band based on pop punk chord progressions, angst-ridden and often disturbingly graphic lyrics, and catchy lead-guitar riffs.

With In Reverie, the music suddenly became far more musically sophisticated and mellow in every aspect. Conley's voice also changed, becoming much softer and nasal in timbre. Steve Evetts, the producer of Saves the Day's albums Can't Slow Down, Through Being Cool and Sound the Alarm described the vocals as if "Chris were singing while sitting on the couch eating a ham sandwich".^{[citation needed]}

Within weeks of the album's release, DreamWorks was absorbed by Interscope Records. Not long after, Saves the Day were dropped from Interscope.

In Reverie is Saves the Day's highest-charting album to date, reaching number 27 on the Billboard 200 album chart in 2003.
