The Los Angeles Times advised readers to avoid the show, calling it "dumb and a major pain to watch." Despite the negative feedback, the Las Vegas Weekly later collectively named "Sirens" and its pirate show predecessor "Buccaneer Cove" the eighth-greatest attraction in Las Vegas history in 2017. Soon after its premiere, Martin Stein wrote "Sirens is foundering and taking on water" in his review for the Las Vegas Weekly, adding "the choreography is boring all the action is far too small for a show in which the audience will often be across six lanes of traffic." Readers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal voted it the worst local attraction in 20. It had been viewed by more than 10 million over 4,749 performances by 2008, and nearly 17 million over 7,440 performances by 2011. on Octowas estimated at 5,000, double the standing capacity of 2,500 during the premiere, the crowd spilled from the sidewalk onto Las Vegas Boulevard, forcing the closure of several lanes. The attendance for the premiere showing at 6 p.m. Dialogue and choreography tweaks shortened it to 18 minutes by 2005 to better match the patience of the standing crowd.

By 2011, over the course of 7,440 shows, 630,000 pieces of pyrotechnics had been detonated, 52,000 US gallons (200,000 l) of propane had been fired, and The Bull had traveled 480 miles (770 km) ( The Song never moved). The lagoon contained approximately 1,500,000 US gallons (5,700,000 l) of reverse-osmosis filtered and reclaimed water, which was 10 feet (3.0 m) deep at many points, extending to depths of 25 and 45 feet (7.6 and 13.7 m) at two pits. The sound system had more than 40,000 watts of power. Flame effects consumed 7 US gallons (26 l) of liquid propane per show. More than eighty individual pieces of pyrotechnics were shot per show. It was estimated to cost $5 million per year. When it started, the cast consisted of thirteen sirens and eleven pirates. The show featured a cast of sixteen sirens and fourteen pirates. The cove now features several water fountains, and no show replaced the Sirens of TI. The new shopping mall reduced the size of Sirens Cove by approximately one-third, and while the ships still exist, the Bull no longer moves ( The Song never moved). However, in late November 2013, Treasure Island announced that the closure was permanent, and that some of the space would be used for new shops, surprising several cast members. On October 20, 2013, the show was halted for what was intended to be a temporary closure until December 26, for the construction of retail space nearby. Siren Cove is drained but the boats remain in June 2014
