Sunburn is the third album by the Blake Babies, released in 1990 (see 1990 in music).

Critical reception

MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide wrote that "Strohm's guitar sound—mixing electric sinew and acoustic jangle—is at its apex here." The Spin Alternative Record Guide called the album "easily the best record any of the Blake Babies had anything to do with."
