In typically splashy style, Elton John rushed IOne Night Only/I, a document of his two-night Madison Square Garden stand, into release just weeks after the October 2000 shows. Basically a rundown of 30 years of chart hits smoothly played (if occasionally craggily sung), the disc is a solid buy for the Elton John fanatic. Others will have to decide if a plethora of guest stars--Mary J. Blige, Bryan Adams, Kiki Dee, Ronan Keating, and Anastacia--warrants owning new versions of old warhorses. Even without the sense of Event surrounding the performances, though, IOne Night Only/I satisfyingly captures the thrill of Sir Elton's recent sets. I--Rickey Wright/I

 Another Great Live Reggie! December 17, 2002

Riding on the popularly titled "One Night Only" bandwagon, Elton John surpasses his predecessors. With two previous live albums and countless 'live' songs smattered over the years, why this one? To be honest, it contains a nearly seamless performance with a nine person band. Only a few audience transitional applauses seem awkwardly mixed. The items that truly stand out are the number of 'guest' artists Elton has allowed 'on board'. Starting out with, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" seems an odd choice, but you must realize that this album has been culled from "two" Madison Square Garden performances. The Stats: Kiki Dee joins Elton on "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" with a good but weathered vocal. Next comes "Your Song" with Ronan Keating literally taking over the song with his post lyric gasps. Following on his heals is Bryan Adams doing a duet of "Sad Songs (Say So Much)"; a nice but unremarkable duet. Hold on! Anastacia joins Elton on "Saturday Nights Alright (For Fighting) and does a bang-up job worthy of the entire album! Finishing with "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues", Mary J. Blige steals the show, making this a fine number to close with. What a voice! brThere is an ironic moment on this album, as Elton sings "Candle In The Wind", a previously released "live" song single that did terribly poorly until it was redone for Princess Diana, making it the biggest selling single of all time.pGive yourself a treat. Elton has it waiting for you.

I was at Madison Square Garden for the Live recording of this CD and all I can say is GREAT !!! Elton has everything, talent, energy, and style. He didn't stop playing for three hours and we didn't stop singing. His guests, Mary Jay Bligth, Ronan Keating, Bryan Adams and Kiki Dee were every bit as Professional as the master himself.pPlease don't retire, not yet, give us one more concert, please, but whatever happens thanks for this great memory

This CD is absolutely essential to anyone with a taste for real music. Elton John has not faded with age, he is a master. His piano playing is perfect and considering this is a live performance, his singing is out of this world. He has such a strong voice and his choice of partners to sing with him is just as exquisite. How did I ever live without this CD?

Sir Elton John - one of the world's greatest rock stars. Madison Square Garden's - one of the world's greatest venues. Live music - one of life's greatest pleasures. And for one night only, all three came together to produce this CD - Greatest Hits Live! Elton John on his own is amazing as anyone who caught him on his most recent UK tour will testify. Elton John with a band is out of this world and so this CD promises to become one of those essential discs that no home can be without. Buy it!

It's not often that a live collection sounds this good, and all prepared in under a month. Elton is on top form and his guests are extremely strong. These are the same old songs as every other greatest hits package, but are unique versions. Rocket man really stands out here, and is a MUST for any fan. It proves once more that a superstar can survive each decade of new competition and new sounds, collaborating with some of the best along the way. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is a rare treat to here, and the band really assist in getting the full vocal and musical range and diversity in these songs.
