AllMusic | [1] |
In a review for AllMusic, Mike DeGagne gave Crusader four out of five stars and described the title track as the album's "crowning glory" and also "one of de Burgh's finest songs", despite its historically inaccurate lyrics.[1] He went on to say that "Even though [the title track] bears most of this album's weight, the rest of the songs aren't without their merit".[1]
All songs written by Chris de Burgh.
