Overall, the game offers a lighthearted romantic comedy experience, enhanced by appealing animated character sprites.

- “If you want a heartwarming story, this one is what you got.”
- “This second visual novel from Pulltop and Moenovel on Steam is a cute, funny, and heartwarming fairytale romantic comedy about three goddesses who have descended into Japanese society as singers, dancers, and entertainers to draw sakimitama (good hearts and goodwill of humanity) from their human fans and supporters.”

The optimization of the visual novel is criticized for its rushed romance plot and unrealistic performance elements, such as the lack of proper stage dynamics during goddess performances. However, the standout feature is the high-quality vocal tracks and engaging music, which significantly enhance the overall experience.
- “The song with vocals in this visual novel makes it excellent and highlights the experience with top-notch performances by twinkle☆girls, Yuko Kawanishi, Hitomi Harada, Rita, and Chata. Their fast, catchy, and upbeat songs make J-pop and this visual novel very special and memorable.”
- “My only complaint is that some parts do not feel accurate and realistic, such as when the goddesses are performing. It does not feel as if they are actually performing with at least a working microphone used in stage performances, as featured in the CGs and background art. The voiced dialogue feels more like the goddess is speaking directly to the protagonist during a regular conversation rather than an idol singer addressing a fully packed audience at a concert venue.”
- “Also, the romance plot progression feels rather rushed, where the visual novel seems to present three beautiful goddesses to the protagonist, who is a normal human with possibly slightly more sakimitama than other humans. Yet that is enough to enable each goddess to fall in love with the protagonist and also have sufficient sakimitama to unleash their jinriki (divine power) and impress audiences at their musical performance.”
