Critical reception

Nadine Smith of Pitchfork remarked, "Set against the glistening voices of his Drain Gang associates Bladee and Ecco2k on "SummerTime Blood", Lean's tone is rougher and more down to earth, whereas his collaborators tilt toward the angelic. On “Starz2TheRainbow", featuring Thaiboy Digital, several layers of overdubs circle and collide with one another, transforming Lean into an erratic choir." In a mixed review, Malachi Lui of Analog Planet stated, "While Stardust doesn't offer anything groundbreaking, it's a good mixtape from a restlessly creative legend who's far from finished."
