From the preview, "If the original Senran Kagura games are fanservice extravaganzas, then I don't think there even exists a word to describe Senran Kagura: Bon Appetit, one of the games on display at XSEED's E3 2014 booth. The main installments in the series are ridiculous, beat'em up fun, and this entry takes it a step further by having the ninja girls face off in cooking battles, where success is measured by successful button presses in time with the music. Missing the beat doesn't just mean failing the cooking contest, it also means having most of a ninja's clothes ripped off."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Despite its somewhat anaemic lineup of backwards-compatible titles (unusual in light of the genre’s strong pedigree on Sony consoles), Vita’s selection of rhythm games is highly impressive in the modern market with genre favourites like DJMax, Hatsune Miku and Taiko no Tatsujin all present and plenty of quirky oddities like Deemo, Love Live & Persona thrown in for good measure. You’re definitely going to need to try your hand at importing to get the most of the genre here, but that shouldn’t be an issue thanks to region-free hardware and easy-to-grasp gameplay."
Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:
"Fans of the Senran Kagura series have come to learn that the franchise is capable of crossing over into basically any genre at this point. With multiple action games released, a shooting title on the way, and previous titles making their way to the PC, the rhythm game Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit! is the latest entry to arrive for PC users. Packing all of the content previously released for the PS Vita title, is this bursting offering worthy of a purchase?"
"Senran Kagura Bon Appetit is the first major spin-off for the popular Senran Kagura series, ditching the games usual hack & slash affair for some rhythm based action. It also manages to take things in a completely different direction with its cooking contest, with the portable PSVita release now seeing a port to PC - complete with all DLC. Does this port manage to entice you to go back for seconds, or has too many desserts left your stomach upset? Let's take a look..."
