Rolling Stone (6/26/03, p.83) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...This was the blueprint for an Elvis we could have grown old with..." Entertainment Weekly (7/28/00, p.183) - "...It's Elvis in full effect: magnificent pop arais in the studio, swampy grit on stage, and covers that sound schmaltzy until the towering emotion in his voice makes you realize he means every word." - Rating: A Q (9/00, p.128) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Fuels the legend rather than the reputation...with likeable stage banter....There are moments of glory [here]..." Mojo (Publisher) (9/00, p.111) - "...Elvis rocks out, clearly enjoying himself, playing to the crowd at the International, including the smoochfest with the ladies during 'Love Me Tender'....[It's] Elvis poised at the top of the arc of his decline..."
