The music, primarily synthwave by producer Sheaf, is widely praised for its relaxing, chill, and atmospheric qualities that perfectly complement the VR driving visuals, creating a deeply enjoyable and immersive experience. While some find the musical progression minimal, most appreciate the strong ambiance and emotional resonance delivered by the tracks paired with the low-poly scenic environments. The experience is best suited for those who enjoy synthwave and ambient music videos in VR.
- “This captures those magical moments when a song perfectly syncs with a part of your drive and the vibes suddenly max out - but this just keeps delivering those moments.”
- “The music is relaxing and memorable, and coupled with the flowing driving sequences make it a deeply enjoyable experience.”
- “The music and the graphics blend to create a super strong ambience that plays with your emotions.”
- “This is a godawful set of three music videos from a synthwave artist nobody ever heard of featuring some of the most garbled, godawful "music" you ever heard (not to be confused with synthwave, or music, for that matter).”
- “The music doesn't progress much, so at most I'd just have it on in the background.”
- “This ep didn't sell me on the music, and the experience could be conveyed just as well on a regular screen, since there is no interaction.”

The graphics feature a distinctive low-poly, stylized aesthetic that some find impressively immersive and well-synced with the synthwave soundtrack, creating a strong, emotional ambience. While visually engaging with effects like realistic lighting and rain, performance can be a challenge on higher-end VR setups, and opinions on the art style vary. Overall, the visuals complement the music well but may not deeply captivate all VR users.
- “I was impressed with this fusion of VR immersive graphics tailored to specific audio tracks.”
- “They really nail low-poly visuals: just look at the sun reflections on the water!”
- “Nighttime lighting and rain effects make stylized graphics look unbelievably realistic.”
- “This time you'll be stuck in a car you can't control in a world of Nintendo 64 graphics.”
- “Personally, I don't care for the low poly art style; it was very short and poorly optimized.”
- “My 1080ti running with a Vive Pro (a bit higher resolution than Vive and Oculus) struggled on the night map with the rain, but lowering the graphics to high took care of it.”

The gameplay is widely criticized for lacking any meaningful interaction or traditional gameplay loops, with many reviewers describing it more as an experience or exhibition rather than a game.
- “There are no gameplay loops in this rejected art school dropout exhibition, no "gameplay", no meaningful game-like interaction.”
- “Or rather to say "game" I would say experience, because there is no gameplay to speak of.”
- “There are no interactions, there is no gameplay.”
