"Weatherall may have called himself an 'amateur musician' or `enthusiast' but Convenanza is a soulful, hypnotic, genre-defying spectacle that shows him on top of his game and defies any modest interpretations he has of his own work".

"Nervy trumpets scribble away in the background and, as with his 2009 solo debut, Weatherall adds deadpan vocals to many of the tracks. The results are perfectly listenable, but it feels like Weatherall's coasting a little here".

"... the Limiñanas incorporate sixties punk and obscure spectres of the yé-yé scene, cult cinematic soundtracks and cool Westerns, Italian pop and Nouvelle Vague, Spector and Gainsbourg (it's undeniable that the track 'Zippo' has a strong resemblance to the revered dead Frenchman), Nuggets compilations, early Stooges and early Suicide, and the inevitable debts to the Velvet Underground and pre-Beatles Girl Groups that are synonymous with so much latterday dark pop exploration. It's the kind of vintage homage that Bobby Gillespie probably thinks his music sounds like, or at least wishes it sounded like".

"It all amounts to a crying shame, not least because we all know the brilliance that Weatherall is capable of ... Everyone will have favourite Weatherall remix that can still elicit a Pavlovian response wherever and whenever it's dropped. And what all these moments have common is the sound of barriers being pushed back, of music moving forward and refusing to rest on its laurels. This, on the other hand, is the sound of a huge talent simply asking, "Will this do?" And the obvious answer is: "No, it bloody well won't"".
