Robo-Squash was met with mostly positive reception.[16] Computer and Video Games reviewed the game in their March 1991 issue giving it a score of 70 out of 100.[3] Julian Boardman reviewed the game for Raze in their April 1991 issue. In his short notes he wrote that the game was "Addictive" with "engrossing gameplay" giving a score of 82%.[13] Robert A. Jung reviewed the game which was published on IGN in 1999. In his review he went on to say "A good, slightly above-average game. Playing it by yourself is fine, since the difficulty levels let you tune the computer to your skills. I suspect, though, that playing it with another person would be more fun. Best for players who are looking for a sports-type game for the Lynx." This giving a final score of 7 out of 10.[5]
