AllMusic reviewer Alex Henderson wrote:[5]
Stardust contains some highlights of two bop-oriented Coltrane dates from 1958... At both sessions, Coltrane's playing is quite engaging. He is a lyrical, expressive ballad player on Then I'll Be Tired of You, Stardust, and Time After Time, but he swings fast and aggressively on Love Thy Neighbor... Coltrane is well served by Garland's piano and Chambers' bass... Although not quite essential, Stardust paints a consistently attractive picture of Coltrane's 1958 output.
