For a medium that was designed for speech recording, amazingly well.
I was at the front of the line to buy the first real high-fidelity
stereo cassette recorders when they first came out around 1979, and I
have a long shelf of master cassettes of everything under the sun. I
still repair and calibrate the WM-D6 series recorders. But quality
from cassettes was always chancy, depending on absolutely everything
being just right, including the phase of the moon. Now even a
medium-rate MP3 can beat a cassette hands down.
