Stay Free is an album by the American R&B duo Ashford & Simpson, released in 1979.

[7] Robert Christgau praised the "groove" of the songs, but noted that Stay Free didn't reach the same highs as previous albums.

[3] The Bay State Banner thought that the duo's "production adds tough, jumping instrumental accompaniment behind them, and keeps their torrid exchanges prominently in the middle of an aggressively mixed work.

"[8] AllMusic wrote that "the title track was spectacular, and the rest of the album was expertly produced, performed, and arranged.

"[2] The Philadelphia Inquirer stated that the pair "sang about marriage, commitment and difficult relationships with frankness and a sense of romance that was untainted by sentimentality.
