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