After My Time is the debut studio album by American R&B singer Noel Gourdin. It was released by Epic Records on July 22, 2008. The album includes the single "The River".

Critical reception

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." 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." Steve Jones of USA Today praised Gourdin's debut for its timeless R&B appeal, highlighting his soulful storytelling, smooth vocals, and blend of classic influences with contemporary themes.
