It is certainly one of the top four violin concertos, along with the Beethoven, Brahms and Tchaikovsky. But one of the best ever? That's a tough call.

Personally, I would not say it is, by any means, but that is a matter of personal taste. I can think of several violin concertos that I would regard as much greater, by Beethoven, Brahms, Elgar and Berg.

Thanks for you question and answers. I'm not familiar with the Bruchs' but I have the Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. I'll have to look into it.
