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.

—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
