in an interview with Complex in April 2020, Bourne stated that he was completing work on The Life of Pi'erre 5 and that it would be the final album in the series, saying, "My initial objective for this whole series was to get Kanye [West]'s attention, and I kind of got that while I was working on TLOP4. So I'm pretty much cool with what I've accomplished with it." [1]

Dylan Green of Pitchfork said that Bourne continues to display his talents "as a producer first and a rapper second", but that lyrically "his jokes and scene-setting are typically colorful enough to infuse each rhyme with enough personality", concluding that "Bourne's consistent tinkering brings him closer to fully reconciling both sides of his art. If Pi'erre 5 proves anything, it's that Pi'erre Bourne the producer and Pi'erre Bourne the rapper are less at odds than ever." [3] Kadish Morris of The Observer said that the album "is saturated with his idiosyncratic earworm tricks: mid-tempo wavy beats, inebriated syncopated synths and gloomy piano arrangements" but "the repetitive drone of his robotic vocals and disjointed storytelling can make the project feel laborious".
