Made for Each Other is an album by saxophonist Sonny Stitt recorded in 1968 but not released by the Delmark label until 1972.[1][2][3] The album represents Stitt's fourth recording featuring the varitone, an electronic amplification device which altered the saxophone's sound.[4]

Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Sonny Stitt's regular group of the period plays a wide variety of material ... Unfortunately the set is from the period when Stitt often used a Varitone electronic attachment on his alto and tenor which gave him a much more generic sound, lowering the quality of this music despite some strong improvisations. It is an okay set that could have been better".[5] In JazzTimes Patricia Myers wrote "Alto and tenor giant Sonny Stitt always could burn a bebop riff like his idol, Charlie Parker. In this 1968 studio session, Stitt is in perfect sync with ever-grooving organist Don Patterson and tasty drummer Billy James".[7]
