Looking naive or sentimental (4-4)

I believe the answer is:

dewy-eyed

(Other definitions for dewy-eyed that I've seen before include "Romantically naive - on the verge of tears" , "Sentimental or innocently trusting, being ocularly moist?" , "Naively romantic" , "Innocent" , "Exhibiting childlike credulity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
