The music in the game is generally praised for its solid electronic and pop tracks, engaging charts, and inclusion of keysounds, making it enjoyable for rhythm game fans. However, the limited song variety, repetitive sound, lack of vocal tracks, and sparse customization options have been noted as drawbacks. A major controversy surrounds the use of AI-generated cover art and promotional material, which many find disrespectful to original artists and negatively impacts the game's perception, despite budget-related explanations from the developer.

- “I like the songs that have traditional Chinese elements fused with modern EDM.”
- “Song selections are actually really solid (out of all the songs only 3 I didn't favourite).”
- “Most of the song selections are very repetitive in sound and I have skipped over most.”
- “Song selection is poor, needs more vocal tracks and happier songs to even out the techno.”
- “For a budget game the songs really surprised me, but the AI-generated content feels like industrial garbage and doesn't help.”
