Narrative:
At top of descent we got an ECAM message indicating a yellow hydraulic reservoir overheat. We followed the ECAM/QRH procedures and then declared an emergency with ATC as it involved a hydraulic system that could compromise flight controls and reverser. Airport rescue and fire fighters was asked to standby as a precaution. Company was contacted and apprised of the situation. The flight attendants were briefed. We continued to our destination and landed and taxied to our gate in a normal fashion with no other incidents. We were met at the gate by maintenance and after briefing him I contacted the dispatcher by phone and discussed what had occurred.
