Hey Babe is the debut solo album by American musician Juliana Hatfield, released in 1992.

Critical reception

The New York Times noted that the album tends "toward bubblegum-sweet melodies and quirky little romantic narratives using the half-mature language of a collegiate creative-writing class."

In a 2018 article, The Guardian referred to the album as a "largely forgotten minor masterpiece."
