    The album traverses a rich genre spectrum and incorporates contrasting moods and atmospheres that make for an exciting listen.

    Through it all, in the music and in Weatherall’s characterful vocals, Public Image Limited is a clear influence. The album is at its best, though, at its most cosmic.

    Convenanza is essentially a good time record, a celebration that looks back, but doesn’t forget to put its best foot forward too.

    Convenanza naturally operates best when Weatherall stays away from the mic.

    His singing, an acquired taste, could have been used more sparingly. Nevertheless, his odd chants keep the weirdness levels appropriately high, and we wouldn't want it any other way.

    Likeable but fairly forgettable listen. [Feb 2016, p.57]

    Convenanza regularly dips into a bag of tried and tested moves that are little more than default settings: dubby basslines, plenty of space, echoes, jazzy trumpets that sound like deflating balloons and so on.
