The music in the game is generally described as soothing and relaxing, enhancing the overall experience with its lovely instrumental quality. However, some users find the repetitive nature of the music and the overly sweet presentation to be off-putting, particularly with the unskippable fireworks and awkward menu navigation. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the ambiance, its repetitiveness and thematic heaviness may not appeal to all players.
- “Amazing instrumental music and soft pastel colors allow you to relax and temporarily forget about all the problems by immersing yourself into this beautiful romantic world.”
- “Love the game, the music and the scenery.”
- “The predictably syrupy presentation is hard to stomach, especially with the really shiny effect on one of the card sets, the just as bad heart-shaped fireworks after every level, and the repetitive music resetting with every level restart.”
- “As always, aside from the awkward menu navigation, ugly card faces, annoying music and bouncing victory screen with unskippable fireworks, buggy levels, gold display and unresponsive wand power-up, it's a decent card game with enough content, but due to the heavy-handed theme it's only recommendable for lovebirds.”
- “The music loops but is relaxing and fitting, so it never really becomes an issue or annoyance.”

Gameplay in the reviewed titles offers a mix of traditional mechanics and visual appeal, with options for varying difficulty levels and engaging achievements. While some players appreciate the addictive nature and robust experience, others criticize the lack of innovation and challenge, finding the mechanics repetitive and at times frustrating. Overall, the gameplay is described as enjoyable for casual play but lacking in depth compared to other similar games.
- “You have two options: (1) stick to the core but offer a robust experience that performs well and is pleasant to look at, (2) add your own spin to it with new mechanics that would make the gameplay more exciting and something to look forward to.”
- “Great achievements, fun gameplay, bonus games, and upgrades bought with in-game currency that help you win the game.”
- “Solid gameplay with fair achievements and stunning backgrounds.”
- “Exe, but not enough to make it worthwhile; in fact, some of the gameplay is more annoying than a regular solitaire game, like the way you pull cards out of the match instead of stacking them in neat rows in the top corner.”
- “I don't recommend it because throughout the game it is entirely too easy; the difficulty ramps up little if hardly at all (except for the beginning). Play it if you want to relax and do some mindless +1/-1 solitaire, but there are better games like this out there (like Faerie Solitaire), with much better mechanics.”
- “But I have to stress, the mechanics to this game are terrible and boring!”
