"Probot" earned an A rating in "Stylus" magazine as well as the title of StylusMagazine.com's Album of the Week for February 8–14, 2004. Scott McKeating's extensive review describes how "Probot balances the grit with the sonic polish without lapsing into Metallica's "Metallica". This is metal that demands banging, shaking and stamping." He commends the ambition of its overall conception, noting, "Very few go as far as Grohl and actually create something vital and new in their mid-thirties from their teenage obsessions. . . "Probot" is an inspirational record in every sense."
