The Warm Moods is an album by American jazz saxophonist Ben Webster featuring tracks recorded in 1960 for the Reprise label. The album was the label's first non-Frank Sinatra release.
In the Los Angeles Times, Leonard Feather said The Warm Moods showcased why Webster was "among the immortals", writing that his tenor saxophone playing "makes every song seem beautiful, whether the task is easy (as in 'Nancy,' 'There's No You,' 'But Beautiful,' 'It Was So Beautiful') or near impossible (as in 'The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi' and 'The Whiffenpoof Song')."Scott Yanow wrote in his review for AllMusic, "even when simply stating the melody, Webster brings out unexpected beauty in the songs. His tone has never been accurately duplicated".
