Review - :
Rarely has a greatest-hits collection been as effective as {$Elton John}'s first compilation of {^Greatest Hits}. Released at the end of 1974, after {^Goodbye Yellow Brick Road} and {^Caribou} had effectively established him as a superstar, {^Greatest Hits} is exactly what it says it is -- it features every one of his Top Ten singles ({&"Your Song,"} {&"Rocket Man,"} {&"Honky Cat,"} {&"Crocodile Rock,"} {&"Daniel,"} {&"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,"} {&"Bennie and the Jets,"} {&"Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"}), plus the number 12 {&"Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting,"} and radio and concert favorites {&"Border Song"} and {&"Candle in the Wind."} Despite the exclusion of a couple of lesser hits from this era, most notably {&"Levon,"} {^Greatest Hits} is a nearly flawless collection, offering a perfect introduction to {$Elton John} and providing casual fans with almost all the hits they need. [This Australian version of the album includes bonus material.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
