Sweet Potato Pie is an album by the American musician Robert Cray, released in 1997 through Mercury Records.

[3] It was recorded by John Hampton and Skidd Mills (who also did the mixing) at Ardent Studios, in Memphis, Tennessee.

[7] The Los Angeles Daily News noted that "the material here has a muscular '60s and '70s soul feel... Cray's vocals aren't just paying lip service to Southern r&b heroes O.V.

"[11] USA Today said that "Cray sings mostly about love and loss, the band's bluesy sound punctuated by the Memphis Horns.

"[4] The Chicago Tribune concluded that most of the songs "are bland ballad or mid-tempo tunes that do little to distinguish themselves.
