The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the quality of the tracks and the gameplay, but expressing a desire for a larger song pool and improved song selection screens. While some users enjoy the existing songs and the ability to import custom charts, others find the current selection lacking and not to their taste. Overall, the music is described as enjoyable, but there are calls for enhancements in both the variety and mechanics related to song play.

- “I love the songs in here too, need to add them to my playlist!”
- “Super clean UI and awesome feel to the game, music slaps.”
- “Improve the song selection screen; it's a fair bit too confusing to understand, especially for long-time players of other rhythm games.”
- “The only song included's beatmap doesn't even match up with its music...”

- “There are modifiers to change the gameplay in various ways.”
