What the music magazine’s have to say about the album:

“Adam Levine and Co. continue their top 40 takeover with a set of irresistibly sharp hooks…The 11 songs here are precision-tuned and lustrously polished, jammed with hooks and choruses that build a man cave in your brain. In terms of stylistic seamlessness and fluid forward motion, V might even be sharper than their 2012 blockbuster, Overexposed, whichgave us “Payphone,” a dazzling spectacle of 21^st-century Top 40 self-assurance.” - Rolling Stone

“The guys of Maroon 5 have the art of making pop records down pat” - Billboard
