The music aspect of the game is widely praised for its impressive library of popular tracks, particularly appealing to fans of classic rock and metal. However, users express frustration with the cumbersome process of adding custom songs and navigating the menus, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the in-game soundtrack is considered one of the game's strongest features, making it a fun choice for musically inclined players.
- “As a musician and a former fan of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, this has awesome potential in VR.”
- “The motion controller usage is designed very well, and the impressive music library makes it feel legit.”
- “The in-game soundtrack is easily the best part of this game.”
- “The only real issue I have with it is adding custom songs is a pain.”
- “It would be great if the midi tool was a complete conversion program which automatically converts your own mp3 songs without having to go through all of the extraction process, which most users have no clue about, thereby shutting them out from making new content.”
- “It's insanely unpolished; the menus are actually painful to navigate through, the positioning is off, and the responsiveness for picking the guitar is abysmal to say the least.”

The game's stability has been criticized for being buggy, with users reporting issues such as unresponsive controls and freezing during gameplay. While some see potential in the product, the current state may frustrate players, making it difficult to recommend without reservations.
- “I recommend only to those who are willing to spend 10 bucks for a buggy but promising product and further motivate the developer.”
- “Controls don't work; for example, the tutorial says to pick up a pick for your guitar, so I do, and then it freezes in place and I can't unlock my guitar.”
