Narrative:
Abq approach cleared us for a visual approach to runway 3 at abq. The controller then talked continuously to a VFR aircraft and failed to switch us to tower. We became busy flying the approach and didn't realize we had not been switched to tower until after landing. Even though we caused no traffic conflicts, both ATC and/or us should have caught the failure to communicate.
