Critical reception


Matinée was met with "mixed or average" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 53 based on 15 reviews.[1]

In a review for AllMusic, critic reviewer Sharon Mawer said: "Here was a chance to show that the music was worthy. With a singing style in the cockney accent of Lily Allen or Kate Nash, he differentiated himself from these singers by actually playing the guitar himself."[2] At Spin, Jon Young wrote: "Occasionally, you wish Peñate would just calm down already — even the ballads feel a little rushed — but his ordinary bloke vocals and eager hooks never fail to please."[12] Tom Ewing of Pitchfork explained: "everything on Matinée suggests he's a decent guy. But just as you're warming to him he comes out with another one-liner like "no one owns what nature's grown," and you're forced to remember that good men can also make bad records."[9]
