Critical reception

'Punk-Online' said; "The Danse Society have matured from the goth style band of the eighties into a powerful five piece mixing music genre’s that takes your breath away. It’s more melodic than previous albums but still has that punk edge." [1] Intavenous Magazine said of the album; "The album is reminiscent of Siouxsie and the Banshee's 'Hyena' with its sinister and dark intent, giving way to downright beautiful refrains. "[2] "Whilst 'VI' sits well within their previous catalogue, it isn't afraid to stretch and move beyond the strict interpretations of the genre, probably a function of the fresh injection of blood that occurred prior to the recording".[3]
