Rolling Stone
In the end, The Fox sounds less like a comeback than a graceful, mature coda to pop’s banquet years, when Captain Fantastic ruled the airwaves and the champagne never stopped flowing.

Subjective Sounds
The album on the whole was the most promising Elton had issued in half a decade.

All Music
Although The Fox isn't a grand slam, it isn't exactly a bunt either.
-
Ultimate Classic Rock
There are some moments of lush instrumentation, effervescent pop, and raunchy funk. Opening side two, "Carla - Etude" is an orchestral movement that's among the most beautiful melodies John has ever committed to tape, arranged by the great James Newton Howard.

“The Fox” might be a minor entry in Elton John’s catalog but it’s a worthwhile one whose vibe is echoed somewhat in the new “The Diving Board.”

Clem's Music Reviews
What tends to stand out mostly is the unique style that is incorporated in all pieces, most notably a rich English royalty beat that suggests that rock and roll had indeed matured in style as far as Elton was concerned.

Rock NYC
A sort of sad album, earnest but unable to grip at all.
