- “I clear a lot of those '100 hidden cats' games with the hand-drawn graphics on a white background in less than a few minutes - this game took much longer.”

The music in the game is generally described as calm, relaxing, and fitting for the cozy atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience with its lo-fi and slightly Asian-inspired vibe. However, many users noted that the soundtrack can be repetitive, leading to fatigue over time.

- “Hidden Cats by Louisselle is a lovely little hidden-object experience with charming pixel art and relaxing music that creates a cozy atmosphere right from the start.”
- “The music loops back on itself almost seamlessly, which is really nice compared to other cat games where the music ends and jarringly restarts itself at the beginning.”
- “The music has a lo-fi and slightly Asian feel to it culturally, which is nice and probably deliberate since the maps appear to take inspiration from the vibes of both too, but the tracks themselves are very repetitive and I got tired of them.”
- “Some of the background music became noticeably repetitive very fast.”
- “The soundtrack, although relaxing, is too samey.”
