Allmusic 5/5 stars

Blue & Sentimental is an album by American saxophonist Ike Quebec recorded in 1961 and released on the Blue Note label. The album features a sparse quartet of Quebec (occasionally doubling on piano), guitarist Grant Green, and a rhythm section of Paul Chambers on bass and Louis Hayes on drums. The album features some rare rhythm guitar accompaniment by Green, who was more typically a soloist.

The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 5 stars and calling it "a superbly sensuous blend of lusty blues swagger and achingly romantic ballads... a quiet, sorely underrated masterpiece".

Recorded on December 16 (tracks 1-7) and December 23 (track 8), 1961.
