Is Allan Watts a respectable philosopher?

I recently stumbled across him in a lofi playlist where a soft beat was playing on top of him in some sort of lecture discussing (dreams??). 

Looked him up and saw that he is very popular around lofi playlist and I'd like to know if he is a respected philosopher, are the arguments justified and in general should one consider him philosophically? Or just his actully incredible way to talk made his famous?

Alan Watts described himself as a philosophical entertainer. He's not an uncommon reference in how people get introduced to philosophy in general but he's not really a philosopher in the sense of engaging with and contributing to philosophy in the way that would entail. Watts' value is more in sharing insights he found in eastern philosophy with western popular audiences.
