Godot's appearance in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations has been met with highly positive reception, stated by Game Informer that some believe him to be the "best prosecutor in the series." A coffee mug based on Godot's was made by Capcom for sale. GameZone editor Marissa Meli called Godot "one of the more memorable characters in the series," comparing his visor to that of Star Trek: The Next Generation character Geordi La Forge. GameDaily listed him as the 21st best Capcom character, stating that he is one of Phoenix's "most feared opponents," citing his "high level of confidence" and his "electronic Cyclops-ish visor." In another article, they state that Godot has a "place in [their] heart." NGamer UK editor Matthew Castle praised Godot as "brilliant," stating that his "quiet coffee sipping approach and woozy jazz theme" was a "breath of fresh air" compared to the prosecutor from the previous game, Franziska von Karma. Nintendo World Report editor Michael Cole commented that while Godot does not hold up to Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth, his "rugged, confident attitude and biting retorts" were superior to Franziska's "shallow ramblings." Similarly, Game Informer editor Bryan Vore commented that Shi-Long Lang, a detective from the video game Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, was not as good as previous opponents in the series, including Godot. Adventure Gamers editor Kim Wild commented that Klavier Gavin, a prosecutor from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, had less presence than Godot. However, Castle noted in his review of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney that Klavier Gavin wowed him as much as Godot did.
Godot has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
