The Ocean Blue is the debut studio album by American indie pop band the Ocean Blue, released on July 21, 1989, by record labels Sire and Reprise.

The song "Vanity Fair" references The Pilgrim's Progress.

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Nitsuh Abebe wrote, "While its songwriting occasionally falters, and it lacks the sonic cohesion of its two successors, The Ocean Blue delivers on what makes all of the band's work so appealing: simple, beautiful hooks and melodies.

"[1] The album peaked at No.
