Reception

A reviewer of Dusty Groove commented "An overlooked gem from reedman Grover Washington – recorded in his later years, but a set that's actually got more of an acoustic style overall – one that goes back to the roots farther than any of Grover's fusion records! Washington's a great straight player in this setting – filled with soul on tenor and soprano sax – and working with top-shelf small group players like Eddie Henderson on trumpet, Hank Jones on piano, Bobby Watson on alto, and Robin Eubanks on trombone. Guitarist Romero Lumbambo arranged one great Brazilian-tinged number – and other arrangements are by Grover, Larry Willis, Slide Hampton, and Freddy Cole – who sings on two tracks too".[5]

Andrew Hamilton of AllMusic wrote "Washington's Winelight album, one of his best, was laid-back also but Washington's M.O. was stamped all over it; here you need credits and liner notes for verification, and only the opening tune emits any sparks. An attempt to silence the die-hard jazz critics who considered him a lightweight, but a disappointment for his Mister Magic fans".[1] A reviewer of India Today noted "Basically a rhythm-and-blues saxophonist, Grover Washington Jr is in the groove also on the trombone and trumpet. Of course, the saxophone remains his forte. Listen to "When I fall in love", "For heaven's sake" and "I'm glad there is you" on this album, and you'll be strongly recommending it to all your friends".[6]
