The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine called it "One of the most comprehensive entries in the music-creation genre." IGN said of the game, "The Voice 2 Music feature is enough to merit that purchase by itself." PSM said, "With patience, DHF can deliver with massive funkmaster flexibility." However, Game Informer said that Jester Interactive had "screwed up the once-intuitive interface, replacing it with this monstrosity, which makes everything dependent on using the right analog stick and the clumsy R3 button."
