Hail Satin is truly a unique record that is unlike anything else you’d expect from a hard rock band. Rather than take themselves too seriously, Foo Fighters have experiments and pushed the musical and cultural boundaries to their limits and have returned with absolute lightning in a bottle. All hail the Foo Fighters and the eternal sound of the Bee Gees!

Subjective Sounds
Hail Satin is a deviation from the norm and why not? It’s fun, kooky, and self-indulgent, but the Foo Fighters have earned the right to do whatever they like and while Hail Satin won’t be their most popular record, I dare say it will be the most unique release of 2021.

It's good stuff, but the reason to spin Hail Satin are those covers of the Brothers Gibb, versions that are much more amusing than they have any right to be.

Pitchfork
Dave Grohl’s six-piece finds common cause between gaudy disco-pop and willfully absurd arena rock on an album-length collection of Bee Gees covers and live-in-studio Medicine at Midnight cuts.

Hysteria Magazine
Is Hail Satin an excuse for Foo Fighters to dress up in suave ‘70s attire and get their hair blown out like Farah Fawcett for some groovy press shots? Perhaps. But if Hail Satin makes more people appreciate the magic of Bee Gees, then we’re all for it.

Stereogum
For their part, the Foo Fighters have done nothing to change the DNA of these Bee Gees songs. The covers are all faithful. The Foo Fighters play the songs as straight-up disco. They don’t rock the songs up, and they don’t do any winking — at least, not on record. Dave Grohl delivers all the vocals in a falsetto that’s strained but surprisingly credible; he definitely worked on hitting those notes.
