In the former case, one suspects that at least one of the reviewers kinda liked the book. In the later case, one fears that the only review is a shill.

Or an honest opinion--from the writer's best friend, who loves all their work. Any work with only a couple of 5-star reviews looks to me like the writer asked family & friends to review; even if those are honest, they're not the same as reviews from strangers.
