The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its engaging and varied soundtrack that enhances the gameplay experience, while others criticize it for being repetitive, grating, or lacking depth. Many users expressed disappointment over the absence of customizable audio options and the limited selection of songs, which some felt did not match the quality of the original game. Overall, while the music can be enjoyable and fits the puzzle mechanics, it may not appeal to everyone, and its integration into gameplay is often seen as underwhelming.
“Chime Sharp is a wonderful Tetris-like game with music that builds as you build.”
“The music element fits in very well with the way the game flowed, and it gave an overall harmonic feeling and a great sense of accomplishment when finally earning that 100%.”
“Great soundtrack, nice graphics, and fun gameplay.”
“While it advertises itself as a 'music puzzle game', the role of music is an overexaggeration; all it does is speed up slightly when we are about to fail.”
“It's a game built around music and there are no options for volume levels, simple on/off, effects, etc. I want to listen to my own music while I play since the soundtrack is... ehh.”
“The biggest issue is the music selection.”

Chime Sharp is a powerful example of giving the player all the power they need to succeed. While at first it may seem a bit aimless, once you get a good grasp on what you're doing, it's genuinely exciting. With unlockable game modes for each track, and a great soundtrack, Chime Sharp is a casual game that should satiate any puzzle fan.

If you played 2010’s Chime, then you’ll know exactly what to expect from its sequel. Chime Sharp is more of the same – but when the original was so good, that really isn’t a bad thing.
