"Hope of Deliverance" is a song by English singer-songwriter Paul McCartney, released in December 1992 by Parlophone as the lead single from his ninth solo studio album, Off the Ground (1993).

It reached number 18 on the UK Singles Chart and became a top-five hit in Austria, Canada, Germany, Italy, Norway, and Switzerland.

[3] Larry Flick from Billboard remarked that McCartney "continues to embrace warm and positive visions on this first glimpse into his upcoming Off the Ground collection."

Spanish cultural influences and handclappin' rhythms gives the track a unique and refreshing vibe that will please programmers at pop, AC, and album-rock levels.

"[4] Randy Clark from Cash Box felt the single "is certainly not representative of the more brilliant musical work Paul has done over his 30-plus year career, although it's refreshing that he continues to enjoy the process."

[10] Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "A jangly guitar intro ushers in a double-tracked Macca on a quirky but ultimately undistinguished and rather corny track, with an insipid middle eight.

"[11] Parker Puterbaugh from Rolling Stone said it is "one of those perfect little tunes McCartney plucks from his songwriter's subconscious like a pearl from a shell.
