Live in Hamburg (Saga album)

Rocktopia's Phil Ashcroft commended the inclusion of many rarely played tracks, including "Wildest Dreams" from 1987, and lauded the recording quality.

On the negative side, some the tracks are described as "a bit messy" and like many Saga fans, he wonders about the label's release plans.

"[4] On PowerOfMetal.dk, Kenn Jensen also praised the tight playing and sound quality, but criticized the fact that this is Saga's eighth live release and comes so soon after "Spin It Again!

User reviews likewise point out the inclusion of "some real treats" and the band sounding "young and refreshing".

[6] Sea of Tranquility writer Stephen Reid reviewed the 2018 reissue, also calling it one of Saga's "more interesting live releases" because of the song selection and praising the mix for finding "the perfect mid-point between Ian Crichton’s guitar and Jim Gilmour’s keys-work".
