[6.0] "The best wrestler to hit the back drop driver past and present. As good of the German suplex can be hit by Konosuke Takeshita, Tatsutoshi Goto used the backdrop driver like no one else can. His name was literally Mr BD."

[5.0] "Of all the guys who ever stepped into a New Japan ring, Tatsutoshi Goto sure was one of them. He split the difference between he his two most common associates - not as good as the serviceable Hiro Saito, but more competent than his tag partner Michiyoshi Ohara."

[6.0] "Solid under-card mainstay of New Japan throughout the 80s to mid 00s, most famous for his backdrop. Never really put in a position to have a run as a singles wrestler, but always serviceable in tag team settings and as an undercard heel."

WrestlingStuff wrote on 21.06.2021:

[8.0] "As a junior, Goto made his mark by being a powerhouse on the division, quickly adopting the Backdrop to his arsenal. When he went Heavyweight, he became a fun guy to watch; certainly not your top guy, but a great solid worker that relied on his heel tactics to maintain his bad persona in the ring."
