AllMusic     [3]

With a 3 out of 5 star rating 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]
