    Nothing here sounds forced, and Bailiff's continued use of effects doesn't so much obscure as communicate the heartfelt content of her songs more effectively. [Nov 2012, p.70]

    At The Down-Turned Jagged Rim Of The Sky is a startling album full of nuance, menace and wonder.

    The nine songs here represent her most ambitious and daring experiments yet, while retaining the considerately dreamy core that sets her work apart from any number of other soft-spoken spaceheads.

    This is life At the Down-turned Jagged Rim of the Sky, which isn't a devastatingly beautiful one, but it's still engaging in its own deep, personal way.

    It sounds exactly like what a fan of Bailiff would hope for, while offering something new and distinct.

    Ultimately Bailiff sounds too much in thrall to her shoegazing peers. [Dec 2012, p.69]
