Critic Reviews

Pitchfork
2008 -Stardust has the force of a statement album, yet it's unlikely anyone ever intended it as such. Its casual demeanor may ultimately be the record's most winning trait.

All Music
Stardust showcases Nelson's skills as a musician and his entire aesthetic -- where there is nothing separating classic American musical forms, it can all be played together -- perhaps better than any other album, which is why it was a sensation upon its release and grows stronger with each passing year

Rolling Stone
1978 -Tears may slide into the beer, but the singer’s dignity is preserved.

Slant Magazine
2008 -not even the best of his current work is likely to prove as timeless as Stardust

My Kind of Country
2013 -Stardust is nothing short of a classic and one of the greatest country albums of all time. I wish I could say it appeals more to my taste, but Jones’ production is too slow and sleepy for me to fully enjoy it. ... But I can still appreciate the project for what it is, and there are some moments of brilliance here from Nelson.

All Music
2018 -A highlight of Nelson's long career, it's not really country music, but a tribute to the universal appeal of the Great American Songbook.
