    V is a welcome return to the consistency of I and II, being an elegant return to form for Blackfield while brightening their sound just enough to remain recognizable.

    Strings stutter and fall, the tone can best be described as lush, gentle and reassuring.

    The album's tempo could have been more varied, but that's a small complaint; there's plenty to enjoy here.

    There's a luxurious, albeit sometimes cloying, warmth throughout. [May 2017, p.100]
