In a mixed review for the New York Times, Jon Pareles praised Musiq's lyricism for being reminiscent of '70s Stevie Wonder but was off-put by Ivan Barias' production causing said lyrics in the tracks to 'ramble until they begin to sound like recitatives.' He later called Soulstar 'an album of dense, fascinating textures and articulate lyrics that ends up pleasant but prosy.' Track listing said, 'Although he often wears his Wonder-Hathaway influences on his sleeve, his ever-improving songwriting and vocal phrasings set him apart.

Just when you think Musiq’s songs remain the same, he unleashes a series of harmonically lush chords that elevate him way above average.' Steve Jones of USA Today. AllMusic editor Andy Kellman said that despite the length of the record, he praised Musiq's growing musicianship to craft modern R&B tracks that don't carry gimmicks or personas that give his performances on them 'a sense of intimacy that many of his contemporaries lack.' He concluded by calling it 'one of the finest contemporary R&B releases of 2003, with both style and substance in good supply.' Raymond Fiore from Entertainment Weekly said of Musiq being able to transcend his 'humble-pie persona' amongst the other neo soul artists throughout the album: 'But while the former ”Soulchild” is maddeningly predictable, the grooves on Soulstar prove surprisingly rewarding. Soulstar garnered positive reviews from music critics.
