Night After Night is a studio album by American keyboardist George Duke released in 1989 on Elektra Records. The album reached No. 11 on the US Billboard Contemporary Jazz Albums chart.

Reception.

The AllMusic review by Jonathan Widran awarded the album 4 stars stating “Being so pop oriented, however, what comes as a pleasant surprise is just how much room is left for Duke to display his sense of improvisation on the many keyboards he uses here.”

Calvin Gilbert of The Advocate declared, “Night After Night contains little to please anyone willing to settle for the lowest common denominator that’s being pushed as music today. If your taste runs to an urban contemporary sound with a decidedly sophisticated approach, Duke’s album is a great place to look.”
