Critical reception

Steve Newton of The Georgia Straight wrote, "If you can put up with Pryor's consistently crude language, Here and Now is good for plenty of laughs. And his alter-ego, Mudbone, puts in an appearance as well. Could quite possibly be the comedy album of '83."[3]

Box set reissue

In 2025, Here and Now was reissued along with a box set of Richard Pryor's comedy albums by Rhino Entertainment.[4][5]

From Rhino's press release of the box set, it states: "Recorded when Pryor was clean and sober for the first time since he was 14 years old, the Grammy-nominated release saw the comic riffing on the trials of fame, meeting President Reagan, and the trials and tribulations of being a married man."[4]
