    All Music Guide Review

    It's hard to pinpoint the reasons for Saxon's gradual fall from stardom, but by the time they released 1984's Crusader, the band had obviously stopped leading the New Wave of British Heavy Metal with its aggressive biker anthems and fallen in line behind Iron Maiden's epic historical themes and more complex song structures. It did them no good. Crusader was actually a slight improvement from the songwriting perspective, but reveals a band who obviously takes itself too seriously. In fact, the band only really manages to rock out like the old days on a few tracks, like "A Little Bit of What You Fancy" and "Bad Boys (Like to Rock'n'Roll)." [The French version included three bonus tracks: "Chase the Fade," "Krakatoa," and a medley of "Heavy Metal Thunder"/"Stand up and Be Counted"/"Taking the Chances."] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
