Robo-Squash was met with mostly positive reception.{{cite web|url=https://www.retrogamer.net/retro_games90/robo-squash/|title=Robo-Squash|publisher=Retro Gamer|date=December 21, 2013|access-date=2020-06-05}} Computer and Video Games reviewed the game in their March 1991 issue giving it a score of 70 out of 100. 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%. 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.
