Only the Blues is a 1957 album by Sonny Stitt, accompanied by Roy Eldridge and Oscar Peterson.

Drew Fields wrote for Allmusic:

While the material is basically set up to let Stitt and Roy Eldridge trade off improvisations, when it is these two the result is energetic and totally worthwhile. Eldridge adds a great deal to the date, taking the music back (in feeling) a little bit to an earlier era. He also seems to push Stitt to keep his game at a high level, which he sometimes needed. Oscar Peterson and Ray Brown are their usual first-rate selves.
