"Your reception towards Convocations will depend on your patience, your tolerance for experimental albums, and whether you're even a fan of Stevens' instrumental work to begin with. If you're not, then Stevens exploring grief via Brian Eno-style minimalism is not going to be what swings the pendulum for you. For Stevens' disciples though, there's enough here to warrant a poring over reminiscent of the same given to holy books".

"Convocations' is a mature work, but its length and intricate creation makes it difficult to get under its skin, the record's wonderful honesty hidden behind layers that you wish could be peeled back".

"Vurdering: B" - "His latest work, Convocations, is one of his most expansive undertakings yet, and yet it reads less like a challenge and more like a mysterious plane through which he's being drawn. Created as an homage to Stevens's father, who passed away in September 2020, Convocations (out May 6) refigures the stages of grief as musical movements (Meditations, Lamentations, Revelations, Celebrations, and Incantations) over the course of a two-and-a-half hour album of instrumentals".
