Depends on what you're acclimating.
For more expensive, less hardy fish, I've acclimated up to 3 hours before.
Hardier fish, such as Triggers, etc. I'll usually acclimate for 45min or so.

Actually, it depends less upon the fish (except for things like elasmobranchs) and more upon the conditions of the bag vs. the tank. You can take longer if the purchase is local (that is, if you want. If the pH differences aren't too drastic, then longer times aren't necessary). However, if it is an online purchase, taking a long time can do more harm than good.
BTW, an hour is good. That should be plenty of time for most fish, assuming they are locally bought.

About an hour will be fine. Here is a good article that should clear things up a bit--sorry if I confused you.
