"When the story of this era's jazz masters is told, West Coast tenor man and bandleader Ernie Watts ought to be prominently featured. Watts, perhaps once underappreciated because of the overtly commercial bent of many of his '70s and '80s recordings, has evolved into a saxophonist whose sound is simultaneously brawny and beautiful, an instrumentalist who explores every part of his horn and knows how to write and/or pick tunes perfectly suited to his approach ... Watts' Home Light burns bright"

"The Ernie Watts Quartet delivers no holds barred, free swinging pure acoustic jazz. Dig in and enjoy. This is as good at gets. Watts has flawless technique, tone, and feel - developed over a fifty year career that shows no signs of slowing down"

"It goes without saying that Watts has absolutely full command of his instrument and the technical abilities of the band are unimpeachable. The only gripe I have is that all the tracks sound a little similar. This is mainly due to the tenor sax being played constantly throughout the recording in the same high register - it's difficult even to distinguish Watts's tenor from his alto. Despite this I'm sure the album will go down well with all the Ernie Watts fans out there"

"Humor og kontant, opfindsomt spil kunne være en kort præsentation af Ernie Watts. Tenorsaxofonist med mere i midten af 70erne ... Buddy Rich, Oliver Nelson, Frank Zappa, Charlie Haden hørte hans ungdom til ... Den aktuelle skive med hans kvartet er noget af et festfyrværkeri, ni numre á omkring syv minutter hver bringer os igennem genrer med fed autoritet. Om det er en skæg hyldest til Ornette Coleman med "Frequie Flyers" eller en omvendt "I Remember April", der bliver til "I Forgot August", eller glødende ballader, så mestrer Watts det med sine mange års professionalisme. Hans motto synes at være "aldrig gentage". Det giver os lyttere mulighed for den altid ellers så savnede overraskelse. Dem er der flere af, og selv om jeg ikke har dyrket Watts intenst, vil jeg medgive hans PR-folk, at han er en af de store tenorer"
