  1. 9.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Precipice is De Souza’s “arrival” album and a singular addition to the contemporary pop canon

  2. 9.0 |   A.V. Club

    She’s brought herself to the very edge creatively, and the resulting album is stunning. She has earned this moment of glorious reflection

  3. 8.2 |   Paste Magazine

    The warping of De Souza’s ferocity threads through the beautiful on her fourth album, keeping it from drifting into placidity, stubbornly insisting on weirdness and individuality as a precondition of greatness

  4. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    There's a prolactin-warm ode to cunnilingus, and a synth slowie about death waiting in the wings of love

  5. 7.5 |   Under The Radar

    While standing upon a precipice, faced with unending uncertainties and wreckage all around her, De Souza chooses to do the only thing she can: she communes, she commiserates, she dances

  6. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Though her songs deliver a sugar rush and some soar like helium balloons, they're anything but insubstantial. Print edition only

  7. 6.6 |   Northern Transmissions

  9. 6.0 |   Dork

    ‘Precipice’ is a testament to De Souza’s evolution as a songwriter; not a dramatic leap forward, but a gentle step onto solid ground

  10. 6.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    Precipice is an album that feels like the work of an artist self-consciously reinventing herself to make a run at a higher echelon of stardom

  11. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Indigo De Souza returns with indie blockbuster album Precipice

  12. 5.0 |   Far Out

    A beast that’s been tamed too much
    Read Review

  13. 5.0 |   All Music

    All told, Precipice is enjoyably hooky, but taking the edge off of her sound and, ultimately, songs doesn't do their emotional weight any favors, even if - or rather because - it makes them go down easier
