Illusions is the first album featuring Brazilian jazz pianist and singer Eliane Elias as a leader. The record was released in 1986 on the Denon label.
Reception Scott Yanow of Allmusic noted "Eliane Elias' debut as a leader ... finds her abandoning the electric keyboards in favor of acoustic piano. A fine start to a significant solo career."
