Reception

In a review of the mixtape, Chris Deville from Stereogum said "If Maidza's 'U-Huh' video wasn’t enough to affirm that she's worthy of our collective attention — it was — the new Switch Tape seals the deal. Over the course of originals, remixes, and Maidza's features on other people's tracks, it presents a wildly adventurous talent."^[8] Andrew Unterberger from Spin Magazine said "A bumper-car ride through hip-hop, pop and dance, Switch Tape was one of the most freewheeling and exciting debuts of the year."^[9]
