[1][2][3] Stewart Mason of AllMusic criticized Convenience as being misdirected and lackluster, saying it "sounds in large part like a tentative attempt to introduce Die Warzau's sample-happy dance-industrial aesthetic into a world where industrial is entirely yesterday's news.
[6] Tony Fletcher of Trouser Press commended the album and said "surprising, original and appealing, Convenience breaks the mold and begins a new phase for a band that is clearly unburdened by stylistic stereotypes.
"[7] Kim Owens of Kaffeine Buzz commended the band for reinventing itself, saying "Although it may alienate the true fans of the group's hardcore material of the past, I see it as a brave, creative, and welcomed move instead of taking the predictable path.
"[8] Steve Mangione of mxdwn Music noted Jim Marcus's vocals and Van Christie's production as being the strong points of the album and said "layers of samples, crunchy noise, tight beats and sinister basslines propel the songs forward in a delectably dismal blend of electronica and darkwave.
"[9] All tracks are written by Van Christie, Dan Evans, Abel Garibaldi and Jim Marcus, except "Glare" by Marcel Henderson, "Superbuick" by J.C. Stokes and "Kleen" by Mike GrayAdapted from the Convenience liner notes.
