The music in "Music Boy 3D" has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the ability to upload their own tracks and create custom levels, while others criticize the reliance on low-quality stock music and limited file support. The gameplay resembles a 3D rhythm runner, where players must collect objects to maintain the music flow, but the lack of a checkpoint system can make longer songs challenging. Overall, while the game offers some fun with its soundtracks and customization, it suffers from issues related to music quality and file compatibility.
- “You'll know which one I mean if you play this game, because unlike the other songs, which are all fast-paced and hectic, this one is a more slow-paced song, a beautiful and subtle techno tune. It's a shame that they couldn't have made the other songs like that.”
- “The game plays out like a 3D runner version of Guitar Hero as you press keys to a beat and dodge obstacles and collect the little shapes to keep the music playing.”
- “I had fun with the included tracks, and actually making my own level by importing a song from my computer was fun as hell.”
- “The music in 'Music Boy 3D' is rather tasteless, and I have a bunch of MP4s that would be a lot better than the automatic ones they have selected.”
- “'Music Boy 3D' is partially or completely made up of stock assets, 'borrowed' from asset stores and free asset websites.”
- “This kind of asset flipping never results in games that have quality or value for PC gamers.”

- “The title screen isn't very visually appealing and the main character gives me a chuckle with how silly he looks, but then you get to the actual gameplay and it's there where you realize this game has a lot of potential.”
