Enjoying the hottest career in the music business at this point, Elton John was also amazingly prolific: Caribou was his eighth LP of new, original songs to be released within four years. Finally, the pace was beginning to tell. There were the expected hits in "The Bitch Is Back" and "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me," but the rest of this album was filler, with the nonsense song "Solar Prestige A Gammon" giving testimony to the facile and vapid approach to writing John and Taupin could take in their haste. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
