The Show, the After-Party, the Hotel is the third studio album from American R&B group Jodeci, released July 18, 1995 on Uptown Records and distributed through MCA Records. The album was recorded at Dajhelon Studios in Rochester, New York.
The album peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart and was the third album from the group to reach number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. By September 1995, it was certified platinum by the RIAA, and it has sold 1,570,000 copies in the US as of March 2015.
The album was certified platinum by September 1995.
Ron Wynn of Allmusic felt the album itself was poorly edited and sequenced, and though he was critical of the group's overindulgent tendencies and refusal to emphasize radio hits, still stated the album had enough good moments "to make it worthwhile for most urban contemporary listeners." Dimitri Ehrlich of Entertainment Weekly gave note to the group's vocal harmonies and the album's production but felt the work lacked mature lyrics, taking away from Jodeci's authenticity.
