The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its calming and authentic qualities, while others find it irritating and intrusive, especially when it overrides personal music during ads. Many users express frustration over the inability to mute or adjust the game's music, leading to a negative impact on their overall experience. Overall, while the music is praised for its design and ambiance, it is also criticized for being repetitive and disruptive.

“What a great match game and the oriental music I greatly appreciate; it's the authenticity that really helps this experience worthwhile. Thank you, Niihau.”
“I'm uninstalling this one now. The reason is mainly that when I listen to music while playing this game, the music gets paused when an ad starts playing. I can't even listen to music while ads are playing; I find myself pressing play, then an ad pops up again, and the music pauses again. It has become such a nuisance I have to uninstall it.”
“No settings to turn off the irritating music these apps seem to play.”
“Like the game but I can't turn the irritating music off and can't mute it.”
