Then Came You is a studio album by the American singer Dionne Warwick.

The album peaked at number 167 on the US Billboard 200.

Critical reception

AllMusic editor Jason Elias found that Then Came You "is mostly an innovative effort of New York R&B/pop that should make anyone's short list of albums that truly capture the style [...] Here [Warwick] wasn't so much an interpreter of 'great material,' her voice and charm were the primary draw."
