The English translation is criticized for being poor, with many instances of mistranslation, grammatical errors, and untranslated voice-only lines that detract from the experience.
Key cultural nuances and character interactions are lost due to the localization choices, such as the removal of honorifics and changes to character names, which can confuse players unfamiliar with the original context.
Some players find the pacing slow, particularly in the buildup to romantic scenes, which may lead to a less engaging experience for those seeking more immediate action.

The story in "Mashifoni" is praised for its good structure, logical character development, and emotional depth, particularly in how it explores relationships and personal growth. While some may find the narrative somewhat cliché, it effectively balances character interactions with plot progression, making it engaging and relatable. The visual novel's grounded approach and distinct character traits contribute to a compelling storytelling experience, despite occasional untranslated voice lines.
- “Each character has their own distinct set of quirks and personality traits, yet in Mashifoni's case, those traits are never overly exaggerated due to its more grounded approach in presenting its story, something that I sorely miss from most visual novels today.”
- “Her route beautifully represents the theme of the story: love paints a new color, as she learns to lay bare her vulnerabilities and accept her shortcomings, making her growth evident throughout.”
- “Mashiro Iro Symphony is a beautiful story that focuses on relationships and character backgrounds.”
- “Some may find Mashifoni's story to be boring or stale due to how often its storytelling takes a backseat to prioritize character interactions.”
- “The story was delivered well, albeit pretty cliché (but it's a reboot of a visual novel from 2009, so what else do you expect?).”
- “Except for Sana and Miu to a limited degree, there is no overlapping story in any route.”

The graphics feature a nostalgic early 2000s anime art style with a muted color palette, complemented by full-HD visuals and modern UI. While the character designs and animated scenes are appreciated, some fans express disappointment in the evolution of Tsubasu Izumi's artwork, noting a preference for her earlier, more vibrant coloring techniques.
- “Mashifoni's art style heavily draws from early 2000s anime, featuring a more muted and simpler color palette.”
- “Full HD graphics, animated scenes, and a modern user interface enhance the overall visual experience.”
- “The high-quality cute anime artwork by Tsubasu Izumi adds a charming aesthetic to the game.”
- “It was quite disappointing because Izumi Tsubasu’s art has been improved over the years, and I had really grown to like her breathtaking coloring techniques and art styles ever since reading 9nine.”
- “Mashifoni's art style heavily draws from early 2000s anime, with a more muted, simpler color palette.”
- “Full HD graphics, animated H-scenes, modern UI.”

The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by strong character chemistry and impactful moments, particularly in Miu's route, which deepens player investment in the story. Ange stands out as a beloved character, contributing to heartwarming and occasionally tear-jerking scenes that enhance the overall experience, making it a must-play for fans of visual novels and romance.
- “Airi had great chemistry with the main character, and honestly, I thought she was going to be my favorite overall. But then when I went into Miu's route, it instantly changed. It's actually unfair; it's basically two girls in one route. Not to mention the emotional moments in this route are quite peak.”
- “As such, it made me feel more emotionally invested in the story.”
- “Overall, this is a great, heartwarming (and sometimes tear-jerking) game that any visual novel or romance enjoyer shouldn't miss.”

- “Combined with its pleasing soundtrack and excellent voice acting, it is an experience to behold.”
- “Let me start by saying that I like the characters, their artwork, and the music.”
- “I'll leave a more comprehensive review once I get deeper into the game, but my first impressions are that the art is quite good, if a little dated (although I enjoy that), the music is fine (to be honest, nothing too notable at the moment but optimistic that we'll get some solid tracks deeper into the game), and the story is engaging.”

- “I was disappointed by the lack of meaningful growth for the side characters; they felt more like props than fully realized individuals.”
