The music in the game is generally well-received, featuring a vibrant soundtrack that appeals to fans of the genre, particularly those familiar with the "luminous avenger ix" series. However, players start with limited tracks and must unlock additional songs through gameplay, which some find inconvenient. While the music enhances the experience for many, opinions on specific tracks vary, with some players finding certain pieces repetitive or annoying.
- “At its price point, you're essentially buying the music with a score-attack puzzle game attached, and if you're a fan of suika-type puzzle games, you'll find a lot to like here.”
- “Great music and addictive gameplay.”
- “For a suika clone, this is pretty good, and the music in the game is great.”
- “The accompanying character is cute, but I find the dialog and the music (especially the default one) very annoying and repetitive.”
- “You start with only one song and have to unlock new music tracks by playing, and you can't disable the character voice.”
- “My only gripe is that the songs use the in-game mixes and not the full versions from the official release (I miss the piano intro from 'Beyond Probability').”

The game offers moderate replayability, primarily through a points system that unlocks additional songs from the *Luminous Avenger IX* series as players engage in multiple sessions. However, there is a noted absence of music from *ASG2*, which some players may find disappointing.
- “Some replayability is here; getting more points throughout multiple play sessions unlocks more songs you can listen to while playing, all of them being music from the luminous avenger ix games (and no, no songs from asg2, since that's bound to come up).”
