Reception

Jessie Cunneffe of Rolling Stone gave the album 3 out of 4 stars saying; "If you're looking for a pub gig in an album, Jon Stevens has delivered. That said, it's the sort of gig you're likely to talk over some of the time – a solid backdrop of classic soul, blues, country and rock that amps up the atmosphere without monopolising your attentions. The skilfully delivered consistency is oddly wearisome at times though. While Starlight is polished and rocking, it's rather predictable".
