The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it repetitive and lacking emotional depth, while others appreciate its ambient qualities and thematic fit, particularly in spooky contexts. Although many describe the music as "fine" or "predictably nice," there are preferences for classical music from previous titles in the series. Overall, the music is generally seen as non-disruptive, complementing gameplay without being particularly memorable.
“Graphics, music, ambient sounds combined with challenging solitaire make for successful entertainment.”
“I love the spooky background music, complete with occasional owl hooting.”
“I've enjoyed playing through this game with its relaxing ambient background music and the bonus mahjong games throughout the playthrough.”
“But the music is rather loveless and all over the place, at times very unnerving with a piece repeating the same sound sequence about 30 times in a row.”
“I can't put my finger on exactly why this game didn't do it for me; perhaps it was the dull tone, the quiet music, or the poor use of the subject matter.”
“Music is fine, though I prefer the classical music in some of the other titles in the series.”

The gameplay in "Jewel Match Solitaire" features a familiar +1/-1 card mechanic, complemented by various power-ups and a castle-building element that enhances the sense of progress. While there are numerous boosters available for purchase, players can successfully complete the game without them, as wild cards and jokers are accessible through regular play. However, the lack of significant variation in gameplay and level design may lead to boredom for those not already fond of this genre.
“There are enough boosters to buy in the shop, but you can also complete the game without them, as wild cards and jokers can also be found in normal gameplay.”
“[b]Jewel Match Solitaire[/b] is a long-running card game series, offering the usual +1/-1 gameplay in various settings, along with power-ups and decoration/upgrade elements.”
“Not much changes in terms of gameplay or level design, so if you don't enjoy these types of games, you will probably get bored after level 20.”
“It has plenty of bells and whistles, and a few different ways to interact other than the core mechanic of one number higher or lower.”

The game suffers from several stability issues, including a buggy gold display that fails to update immediately after spending, unresponsive power-ups requiring multiple clicks, and awkward menu navigation. These technical flaws detract from the overall experience, although the game still offers decent content.
“The gold display is still buggy; spending some doesn't change the value on the map until you visit the castle screen or play another level.”
“Aside from the awkward menu navigation, annoying bouncing victory screen with unskippable fireworks, buggy gold display, and unresponsive wand power-up (have to click twice to activate it), it's a decent card game with enough content.”
“The gold display is still buggy; spending some doesn't change the value on the map until you visit the castle screen or play another level.”
