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 repetitive and inconvenient. Overall, while the music enhances the experience, opinions vary on its quality and the necessity of unlocking new tracks.
- “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 some replayability through a points system that unlocks additional songs from the *Luminous Avenger IX* series as players engage in multiple sessions. However, it does not include music from *ASG2*, which may disappoint some fans.
