Indicating in a three and a half star review by CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis describes, "The group’s self-titled offering juggles between soulful pop, modern rock and contemporary praise, often employing massive harmonies and arena-worthy production. It’s a super slick, Christian living-focused affair that’s fairly infectious at every turn, even if some of the lyrics and arrangements lean towards the generic side." Amanda Furbeck, allotting the album four and a half stars from Worship Leader, responds, "Musically, Stars Go Dim is beautifully mastered, creating just the right balance of stand-out vocals that are well supported by the creative arrangements of SGD's pop-rock band."
Mikayla Shriver, giving the album three and a half stars for New Release Today, writes, "Their debut album is a polished, spiritual, yet fun pop album." Awarding the album four and a half stars at 365 Days of Inspiring Media, states, "Each of the 14 tracks are unique, and each of them are a reminder of the hope we have in Christ Jesus our Lord!" Rating the album a four and a half stars from The Christian Beat, Chris Major says, "Without a doubt, Stars Go Dim has proven their creativity and sincerity with their debut collection." Allocating the album three stars at CM Addict, Michael Tackett says, "The rest of the record is very similar lyrically and musically that each song starts to blend in a little too much."
Signaling in a two and a half star review from Jesus Freak Hideout, Christopher Smith cautions, "At its worst, this self-titled album is background filler and at its best, it is catchy formulaic pop...but overall this album tries too hard to produce a sound pulled off much better by other artists, even their own label mates for King & Country." Scott Fryberger, assigning the album one and a half stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, criticizes, " But at the end of the day, Stars Go Dim is just another album that has come into my ears that I just want to flush out."
