AllMusic	[3]

Johnathan Widran of AllMusic wrote, "After years of producing albums which were more pop/funk than jazz oriented, George Duke simmers down, leaves off the R&B vocals, and takes a little creative license on the self-proclaimed 'mood record' After Hours."^[3]

After Hours was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Contemporary Jazz Performance.^[4]
