After Hours is the third studio album by American neo-soul artist Rahsaan Patterson, released on October 26, 2004, under Artistry Music. The album is his first independent release on the record label. [1] The album debuted at #65 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman called the album Patterson's "finest yet" as well as "one of the most satisfying R&B releases of 2004." He added: "After Hours benefits from a touch so easy and natural that it practically sounds like it was made by a new artist. Throughout, you can picture Patterson surrounded by a small group, cutting most of the material live in the studio. This is the proper route for him [...] as opposed to dozens upon dozens of session musicians, producers, and engineers. Even the up-tempo party songs [...] have little varnish applied, and are a lot more suited for backyard gatherings than the clothing boutique in the mall." [3]
