Critical Reception
In a review of Sonic and the Secret Rings, 1UP.com's Shane Bettenhausen bemoaned the music, citing the overuse of vocals and comparing it to "a local Winger cover band." IGN's Matt Casamassina criticized the "cheesy 80s guitar riffs and even cheesier pop vocals". However, GameSpot's Greg Mueller stated that "he tunes are so incredibly cheesy that they are funny, and they seem to be a perfect match for Sonic's early-'90s sense of style."

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“Most critical writing is drivel and half of it is dishonest.... It is a short cut to oblivion, anyway. Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the power to think in terms of emotions and sensations.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
