“Jonathan Winstead has a love of people and of life that is infectious. His music is a celebration of this love,flowing freely from his unabashedly positive personality. The music is all about his struggle to be the best man he can be, and to thrive with honesty, passion, and, above all, with soul. While he doesn't fit the commercial mold, he has earned a vast fan base of people who love music more than all the glitz and glamour of stardom. His live shows are akin to soul-filling tent revivals, with Winstead urging the audience to join together and love one another. A Jonathan Winstead concert is an unmistakably uplifting experience. He eats, sleeps, and breathes music, and his success is a combination of passion and discipline.”

— Jon Karr, New York Minute Magazine

"Lovestry" is the most remarkable piece of soul that we have been for some time in the CD player. This gentleman from Nashville got to be in the houses of God Sangeshandwerk - a fact that endows his presentation with profound soul. In an age of electronic voting mutation alone is a good reason, with "Lovestry" to make known in detail. The experienced gospel attitude is also reflected in approaches within range of musical echoed - "So Good" and "Sweet Baby" come into full gear, so monitoring and inclusive fat Hammond polyphonic support. To roll the piano, the rhythm is treading a tight path and follow the melody line in valiant fashion. Down to earth and grounded, but compatible in every moment and with the contemporary soul flavor. This is ensured by the always variable ornate arrangements by which the flame of audio pleasure within the entire program is passed. "Back Again" is a fine example of the machinations of Jonathan Winstead. Big Soul-art of current times. All everywhere.

— Joerg Schmitt, Sonic Soul Reviews

“When you hear the lyrics in the songs, you do as I did and totally fall in love with the art presented from Soul Artist Extraordinaire Jonathan Winstead. Baptized “The Southern Gentleman” by our Editor-in-Chief in their radio interview, Jonathan spoke of his music upbringing being one that was steeped in the roots of the foundation of real soul music.Now while I fully endorse every project that we feature, there those exceptional ones that I say will be timeless; I do feel that way about this project as well. How refreshing to turn on some music and realize wait… I want to hear that again! His actions speak louder than his words. This is a front to back great project. His vocals are incredible with a nice soaring alto range that oozes passion and conviction: you know he firmly believes in what he is saying. There are no filler cuts on here. Each song was crafted to be a stand alone message and single offering. ”

— Neo Souljah, Purifying the Mic Magazine

“ I know that Jazz FM's Ralph Tee has cherry picked the song 'SexyLadyLove' for his Sunday Shows, which has to be said is a killer of a mid tempo Soul tune. The set comprises of 15 beautifully penned songs, of which, my pick of which is the 6 and a half minute opus 'Back Again'. The blurb that accompanies Jonathan's beautiful new CD, draws parallel's with Donny, Marvin and the greats from the Old School. All I would say is this singer is all those things, but very much a singer in his own right. On a final note (pardon the pun), one track really struck me on this album. That song is the very Chill-Fact-Orr-esque 'Get Wit It'. Incredibly catchy song, and in another era, a top 40 hit. In todays market, bypassing the firewall of musical dirge is not an easy task, however, this deserves to be a hit. Great album. Highly recommended.”

— Toby Walker, Soulwalking

“Nice well produced mellow soul album with good songs and featuring real instruments. Jonathan possesses a good smooth soul voice and his approach reminds me a little of Ty Causey. ‘Wake Up’ is a great tune, a lower mid tempo track that really grabs your attention. ‘Sexy Lady Love’ is an upper mid tempo and along with the interestingly constructed ‘Selfish’ are also highlights. The mid tempo ‘back Again’ and the ballads ‘You Make Me Say’ , ‘Sweet Baby’ and ‘Adrenaline Rush’ are also good on this strong album.”

— Laurence Prangell, Soul Brother Records

“(MEMPHIS, TN.) --VISION/VOICE/VARION is your only "all access" internet magazine featuring some of the Mid-South's hottest concerts. In November Desoto Civic Center near Memphis put on one of the best concerts ever. There was just too much talent on one stage! The Bar-Kays featuring Larry Dobson, Anthony Hamilton, Ron Isley featuring the Isley Brothers, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. We wrapped up our tour of the Memphis area in December with the smooth sounds and cool vocals from Stax Recording Artist Lalah Hathaway and her featured opening artist Jonathan Winstead. Jonathan is definitely a "rising star" in his own right. He opened for Lalah the night of his birthday, but everyone in the audience walked away with a gift, the pleasure of enjoying the outstanding performance of this Tennessee based newcomer.”
