Deming praises the "tough, funky blues" of "Murder in My Heart for the Judge" and the "horn-driven boogie" of "Can't Be So Bad" and refers to "Bitter Wind", "He," and "Rose Colored Eyes" as "lovely folk-rock tunes with shimmering harmonies." His colleague, Matthew Greenwald, calls "Bitter Wind" "a beautifully written ballad" and "one of Bob Mosley's finest early period compositions", also praising the songs "He", "Rose Colored Eyes" and "Miller’s Blues" and calling "Murder In My Heart For The Judge" “a fabulously hilarious story of being dressed down in a court by a judge while paying parking tickets.” The first CD of "Wow/Grape Jam" was a single disc edition on the San Francisco Sound label, owned by Moby Grape's former manager. It has edited versions of "Bitter Wind" and "Marmalade." It also omits "Just Like Gene Autry: A Foxtrot" and "The Lake". Some reviewers have a low opinion on the version because they feel it suffers from mediocre sound quality and poor packaging. The group has never been properly compensated for this CD release. Many of the songs from "Wow" also appear on the 2 CD collection "" released in 1993. This collection includes "Foxtrot" and the complete acoustic version of "Bitter Wind". It also includes a few "Wow" out-takes, notably an alternate earlier version of "Bitter Wind" in a completely different rock arrangement. The complete version of "Wow" was first released on CD in Japan in 1997. A newly remastered version was released by Sundazed Records on October 9, 2007 featuring a number of bonus tracks, most of which were previously unreleased. At the same time Sundazed also released separately the CD debut of "Grape Jam" in its entirety, with three previously unreleased bonus tracks. Both "Wow" and "Grape Jam" were taken out of print on November 3, 2007, along with "Moby Grape" for reasons that were not officially specified. It has been widely circulated on the Moby Grape mailing list that former manager Matthew Katz, whom the band has been in legal battles with since the late 1960s, threatened to file a lawsuit against Sundazed claiming ownership of the albums' artwork. Artwork of the "Wow" album (design and illustration) was done by Bob Cato.
