GameSpot reviewed the PS1 version: "If you're a serious musician and tool around on your PC, you're probably going to be frustrated or bored, as the RAM is obviously limited and the library is nothing you haven't seen or used before." [6] IGN said: "The video library is massive, and the utilitarian feel and ease of composition is nearly flawless. For the most part the sound effects and beats are great to use and easy to paste into the music score, or to alter." [2] GamePro called the PS1 version "amazing" and the PC version "a must-have for music fans everywhere" [8] [4]
Vice wrote in a 2015 retrospective: "As a 'game' it was torturous; fiddly, unresponsive, demanding and difficult. As a tool it was invaluable." [12]
Music and Music 2000 have sold combined over a million copies. [13]
