After the Beginning Again is the sixth studio album by the American jazz singer Cassandra Wilson originally released on the JMT label in 1992[1] and later rereleased on Winter & Winter.[2]
AllMusic's Steve Leggett wrote, "When compared to her more mature mid-'90s Blue Note releases, After the Beginning Again sounds much busier, but a listener is left with the nagging feeling that this busyness is covering for the fact that nothing is really going anywhere in particular. Wilson in time would correct all this and grow wonderfully into her material, but on this outing her focus is not quite there yet." The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD wrote that the album was "one of her strongest studio dates", praised "There She Goes" as a "haunting tune", and described the rendition of "Baubles, Bangles, & Beads" as "memorably downcast".
