Critical reception

Thom Owens of AllMusic says, "Wine Into Water is one of Brown's very best albums, not only because it finds him coming to terms with his own personal demons, but because it is so well-crafted."[1]

Kimmy Wix of CMT quotes Brown, "This is the first time I've ever got to make an album exactly like I wanted," explains T. of his new Wine Into Water album, his first release in more than seven years."[2]
