The music in the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players describing it as repetitive and annoying, often leading them to turn it off entirely.

- “Cloudlands VR is such a relaxing game, with its picturesque landscapes and soothing background music (new music was recently added in an update).”
- “It's got a nice atmosphere to talk while you putt away (if you turn off the music) and it has a level editor, so every time we come back we play on new stages.”
- “The music can be disabled but there are no sliders to adjust ambient sounds like constant loud chirping noises, interface sounds like sudden loud door slam when someone leaves a multiplayer session or knock!”
- “The music is awful, just the same three notes repeated incessantly.”
- “I'm not kidding, I think this is genuinely the worst music I've ever heard in any video game.”
- “The song isn't bearable to me for even five seconds, and it repeats endlessly.”
