reception

The German magazine Rock Hard awarded seven out of ten achievable points and Jan Jaedike wrote that "the troupe around the two ex-ists Bruce Kulick (ex-Kiss) and John Corabi (ex-Mötley Crüe, ex-Scream)" will be “for the idea of ​​releasing a live record after a single studio album is subject to some embarrassing interrogation. "The reviewer primarily lists the pieces and rates them: Jungle is" naturally only B- without the charismatic voice of Paul Stanley. Great, even if Corabi otherwise “impresses” and combines a “bluesy feeling with an alternative touch”. In addition, the group would “ indulge in Cheap Tricks Surrender (kicks ass) and to chill out with an unplugged version of the Beatles track You've Got To Hide Your Love Away ”. But it is "not just these extras that make Live in the Galaxy interesting". The band rock and harmonize “better than on their studio album.” If they “would transfer these vibes to their next record" The Blue Room ",” where they “also have to do without a sack of foreign compositions”, “Union could do something else become".
