Critical reception Weathervanes received a score of 82 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 13 critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Mark Deming of AllMusic wrote that the album "finds [Isbell] shaking things up a bit to keep himself sharp [...] and if the sound of the album isn't radically different, the feel is leaner and more direct while still full-bodied and richly detailed". Deming concluded that Weathervanes is "a triumph, an outstanding set of songs and performances from someone who has already proved they're one of the strongest, truest voices in American roots rock".
