| AllMusic |      [3] | 
AllMusic editor Andy Kellman found that while "even the productions that are synth-spiked or more hip-hop-oriented [...] don't register as flagrant attempts to top the pop chart; yet, at the same time, they add a necessary dimension and another level of appeal to Gourdin's debut."[3] Boston Globe critic Siddhartha Mitter called After My Time an "album of assured R&B for grown folks." She remarked that "at 13 songs, the program is concise and there's little filler - this is an album worth hearing in full [...] He's a real singer, with texture and control."[4]
