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."
