Caught You is the third album by the reggae band Steel Pulse, released in 1980. It was released in the United States as Reggae Fever. Caught You was the band's final album for Island Records.
Critical reception
Rick Anderson of AllMusic wrote that "while there were still heavy messages to be found in songs like 'Harassment' and 'Nyahbinghi Voyage', the band's jazzbo tendencies were front and center." Trouser Press called the album "Steel Pulse at its most pop-oriented," but lamented the "increasing tendency towards preachy, trite lyrics."
