"This set would remain a fan-club-only disc (or a tour-only release, if tours still reliably existed) if the songs weren't as good as they are".

"If you're expecting the exquisite polish and production of recent Griffin albums, you may be slightly taken aback, but just know these recordings are a rare glimpse behind the curtain at an artist of consequential importance creating. Creating her art, warts and all. It is indeed a special recording. TAPE is a beautiful, albeit short, album that surely deserves your attention".

"The power of these lo-fi noodlings lies in their unvarnished intimacy. While Griffin often trowels on the high-sheen production a little too enthusiastically in the studio, 'Tape' reminds of the power and vulnerability of her extraordinary voice. It also prompts an amount of bewilderment that some of this material was left lying around. "Don't Mind" is a big-hearted bluesy duet with Robert Plant, "Sundown" a singularly pretty piano ballad, and "Strip Of Light" a hungover classic whose obscurity to this point seems vaguely scandalous".
