For the most part, reactions to Yggdra Union were positive, with a 79% average score on Game Rankings for the Game Boy Advance version and 76% for the PSP version. Many reviews had qualms with the game, but they all had different ones. Some complained about the unnecessary strictness in the card usage limitations that "seem like they’re in place to keep you from doing cool things rather than facilitate them" and that a certain few cards "were applicable in many situations, giving the most flexibility." Some were upset by the music; RPGamer believed the music was "the one thing which truly drags upon the game", and still others were displeased with the union system and the stylistic presentation of the game. The odd name and pronunciation of "Yggdra" is oft-noted.
In Japan, the game tied in fortieth place in Famitsu's Reader's Top 100 Games of 2006 and received a 35/40 from Famitsu. However, the game was unable to break the top ten, debuting in thirteenth place in national sales. Despite this, when Yggdra Union was released in Japan, GBA sales saw a noticeable spike, a potential correlation noted by GamesAreFun. The PSP version managed to top out at ninth place in its first week, with sales of 17,304.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
