The vibe onStarboy comes from thathip-hop culture ofbraggadocio fromWu-Tang and50 Cent , the kind of music I listened to as a kid. Bragging just sounds good, man. I was a teenager when I sawScarface Tony Montana could survive all those gunshots and not feel them.[ 10]

Annie Zaleski ofThe A.V. Club Starboy is one of the most confident releases of the year, one bold enough to reveal the cracks in The Weeknd's façade for the sake of resonant art".[ 57] Consequence Starboy is still the sound of Tesfaye knowing he has what it takes to be a major figure in pop music for a very long time".[ 64] Neil McCormick ofThe Daily Telegraph [ 2] Entertainment Weekly [ 58] Exclaim! Trilogy [ 22] Pitchfork Starboy , by way of contrast [toTrilogy ], feels more like an opportunistic compilation of B-sides than an album. Who is the Weeknd? At this point, even the man behind the curtain might not know".[ 62]
In a mixed review,AllMusic 's Andy Kellman stated: "The productions—the majority of which involve Doc McKinney and/or Cirkut, low-lighted by maneater dance-punk dud "False Alarm"—are roughly as variable in style as they are in quality. When pared down to its ten best songs,Starboy sounds like Tesfaye's most accomplished work."[ 56] Alexis Petridis ofThe Guardian Starboy . It seems to capture an artist in a slightly awkward state of flux, unsure whether to cravenly embrace the kind of pop stardom that gets you on the shortlist for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice awards or throw caution to the wind and do something more interesting artistically.Starboy hedges its bets and tries to do both. You can see why, but it makes for a curiously uneven album".[ 59] Rolling Stone ' s Mosi Reeves stated: "Despite an overlong hour-plus runtime and surplus of filler,Starboy does have highlights. ... But for longtime fans that believe the Weeknd is one of the major R&B artists of the decade,Starboy will ultimately seem like a disappointment."[ 4]
