Critical reception

Writing for NME, Karen Gwee gave the record a score of 4 out of 5 stars, saying "Star throws us into a universe that feels bleak and cold like its subject, hedonistic and hollow at the same time." The Observer<nowiki/>'s Kitty Empire also gave it a score of 4 out of 5, writing "There are reasons to be wary of Hollis Frazier-Herndon’s charms: this pop mainstream-facing record is made up of the most obnoxious parts of loud genres; race cars zoom and big cats growl through the album’s interstices". and Pitchfork, as well as a mixed review from Slant Magazine.
