The music in the game, featuring compositions by Les Claypool, is generally well-received, adding to the colorful and humorous presentation. However, some users note that the music is recycled from "Spore Wars," which detracts from its originality.

“Yes, I do dislike the 3-stars rating per level thing, but seeing that Les Claypool's music is in this game as well, that makes up for it.”
