Swim would say yes. Acetone has a low boiling point and therefor is easy to evaporate. Just redry it. It probably just wasnt dried enough the first time.

read Rhodium's posts on "methylamine smell" in final product, maybe this helpes. My first product smelled like xylene or other unwanted stuff. Since i am doing an A/B and recrystallize 2x  this has never occured again. Pure product smells/tastes different to this normal, commercially available stuff.
