How to leave a review on Bandcamp

Did you know? You can leave nice comments and reviews on your Bandcamp purchases. Not only does it make us feel warm and fuzzy inside, it also helps browsing potential listeners with some confirmation that yes, it's good! All you need is a Bandcamp account to get started.

Step One: Head over to your Bandcamp collection

Head over to bandcamp.com and look in the top right corner. You'll see your profile picture in a little circle. Click on that, and in the menu that pops up, click on your name and "View collection."

Step Two: Find the release you want to review

Once you're in your collection, you'll see a grid of your past purchases. From here, you can listen to them, re-download them, and even browse other collections that they appear in.

You can also leave a nice comment about the release by clicking "Why do you love this album?"

Step Three: Say something nice!

Once you click "Why do you love this album?", you just have to write something about why you love that album. Maybe something about how immersive the soundscape is, or how stirring the music is, how great the performances are, or what a wonderful value all of the bonus features are. Something along those lines. Then just hit "Save"!

Step Four: Admire your hard work

Look at that! A lovely review, ready for the world to see on the album's page.

Try it yourself—head over to Bandcamp, find Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop or Salt Bloom in your collection, and say something nice!
