Análisis (en inglés) :
It's not that {$Elton John} was in need of a comeback in 1978, when he released {^A Single Man}, because he was still one of {\pop}'s biggest stars. But he certainly had hit a creative drought with 1976's {^Blue Moves}, a turgid double album that found {$Elton} and his partner {$Bernie Taupin} barely able to write a side's worth of memorable material. {$John} took a couple of years off and reemerged with a new lyricist, name of {$Gary Osbourne}, who was certainly more straightforward than {$Taupin}, but not as inspired. Even if he lacked {$Bernie}'s endearing incomprehensibility, {$Osbourne} kick-started {$John} creatively, spurring him to write his strongest collection of songs since {^Captain Fantastic}. Also, {$John} left behind {$Gus Dudgeon}, the other partner of his classic period, choosing to collaborate with {$Clive Franks}. Now, this didn't result in a blockbuster of an album; even if it was a hit in both the U.K. and U.S., none of the songs, even hits like {&"Part-Time Love,"} are considered part of his basic canon, but this is easily one of his most underrated records, a tight collection of {\pop} songs where the craft effortlessly shines. He does {\contemporary pop}, elegant instrumentals like {&"Song for Guy,"} and even apes {\New Orleans R&B} effectively on {&"Big Dipper."} This, of course, is a testament to {$John}'s talents, especially because it didn't become a perennial in his catalog -- for most artists, a record this skilled and sophisticated would be a highpoint. Here, it's simply {$Elton} doing his job as best he can. [The 1998 reissue -- which didn't appear in the U.S. until 2001 -- contains five bonus tracks, extensive liner notes, and restored artwork.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
