The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising the diverse soundtrack that includes a variety of genres, particularly K-pop, and the fun choreography that enhances the dancing experience. However, some users express disappointment over the limited number of songs available without a subscription, feeling that the overall selection is not as strong as in previous versions. While the visuals and choreography have improved, the reliance on a paid subscription for a broader song library has drawn criticism from players seeking more value for their purchase.
- “Great game, great soundtrack, great dances.”
- “I definitely recommend it, you get endless fun hours with it, I get to dance to all of my favorite songs and even workout to them!”
- “While I would enjoy some of the old modes of play returning, I still think this game can hold its own with a solid soundtrack, beautiful level designs, and fantastic choreographies.”
- “The worst songs were the ones with CGI dancers (fully CGI, not live-capture).”
- “All of the songs are either old, lame, or too mellow to dance.”
- “The songs are just too slow to dance to.”

The graphics in the game have received high praise for their impressive quality and complexity, showcasing the developers' ability to leverage advancing technology. While some users note that the overall experience may not feel drastically different from previous versions, the enhanced visuals and choreography contribute to a captivating dance experience. Overall, the game's graphics are considered a standout feature, elevating the gameplay significantly.
- “But the developers have taken advantage of increasing technology to create increasingly interesting visuals for their dances and make the dances themselves more complex over time.”
- “I freaking love the graphics for this game.”
- “[excellent choreography, great song choices, new dance styles, exceptionally improved stage graphics]”
- “There’s no doubt that Just Dance 2022 has fallen into some of the traps of other annual games by not making it feel like a total makeover, but once you experience the quality choreography and improved visuals, you can’t deny that Ubisoft is still trying to deliver an exceptional product where it counts: the dancing and song selection.”

Players express frustration with the monetization strategy, highlighting that after paying $45 for the game, they are overwhelmed by persistent ads promoting a premium subscription service. The constant push for additional spending, particularly for temporary access to extra content, is seen as excessive and detracts from the overall experience.
- “Not only did I already pay $45 for a game, but as soon as you enter the game, they bombard you with Just Dance Premium ads.”
- “The advertising to spend more is absurd; it's a constant barrage of their unlimited service and how it adds 700 songs (that you don't get to keep).”
