Though the project at times calls for more diverse experimentation, it’s a small sacrifice to enjoy the intoxicating progression of TLOP5, watching as Bourne continues his journey to becoming a fully-fledged rapper.

Pitchfork

The fifth installment of the rapper-producer’s long-running series lands closer to the sweet spot between beats and bars glimpsed on his previous effort.

AllMusic

The long-promised fifth and final volume of innovative trap producer Pi'erre Bourne's The Life of Pi'erre series is a continuous hour-long suite which largely sticks to a similar mood, showcasing his atmospheric beats and relaxed lyrical flow
