Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Waldron's accompaniment is typically rhythmic, creatively repetitive, brooding and personal. However it is Lee's haunting and highly expressive voice that really sticks in one's memory".Yanow, S. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/after-hours-r240605 AllMusic Review] accessed March 14, 2011 The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the album as "a standards session on which Lee does little more than sing the songs".Cook, Richard and Morton, Brian (2008) The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings (9th ed.), p. 877.
