Suppose William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. Shakespeare's works, including plays such as Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth, have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Can we infer that "Shakespeare's works were not well-received during his time."? Yes, no, or maybe?
