AllMusic[1]

Tokyo Blue is Najee's third album, released by Capitol Records in 1990.

Jonathan Widran of AllMusic writes, "Immensely pleasurable, a fun listen from beginning to end."[1]

Smooth Jazz Therapy writes of Tokyo Blue, "The way it blended jazz with R & B, placed him right at the top of his urban jazz game and his judicious use of featured vocalists was starting a trend in smooth jazz which has endured to this day."[2]

Yumi L. Wilson of AP News reports that, "Najee won best jazz album for his Tokyo Blue at the 1991 Soul Train Music Awards.[3]
