Review, by Greg Kasavin: "It's a lengthy adventure, and there's some replay value to be found in the job system." [Score: 6.6 out of 10]

Review, by Christian Nutt: "Lufia is a solid but extremely unoriginal game that's worth picking up if you crave the paradoxical -- a brand-new blast from the past. I hope that some day, the Lufia series will receive the sequel it deserves." [Score: 2 out of 5]

Review, by John Kellogg: "Lufia: The Ruins of Lore is a solid addition to the Gameboy Advance's RPG library." [Score: 7.5 out of 10]

Review, by Thomas Falbo: "Overall, I would say that this Lufia could be classified as an above average RPG, there just really isn't anything groundbreaking or something that hasn't already been done already." [Score: 7.5 out of 10]
