Reception

Greg Prato wrote for Allmusic, just a few hair metal bands of the 1980s would " have been known for their respective instruments truly dominate ." A group that had actually been able to " be deposited with skill " their " Pretty Boy " image, Europe was. Almost Unplugged show the group with a string quartet, with which they share some rock classics along with original material and the " still bombastic " The Final Countdown would recite. Surprisingly, lack the power ballad Carrie, from which one could assume " that they fit well in the instrumental framework " would have. Almost Unplugged was " further proof that Europe kings of arena rock " are - at least in Europe.
