  1. 10.0 |   Upset

    It’s a spectacular album. In their 20 years, Fall Out Boy have been fiercely ambitious with every passing album but nothing could prepare for the outstanding magnitude of ‘So Much (For) Stardust’. Worth the wait? Without a doubt

  2. 9.0 |   DIY

    An album that exudes charm and euphoria, while still very much being Fall Out Boy’s DNA, ‘So Much (For) Stardust’ is a real joy

  3. 8.4 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    If So Much (For) Stardust is the beginning of the band's third trilogy, as Stump claims in interviews, the future is looking pretty bright: even the most cynical of former fans may be retoxing on Fall Out Boy sooner rather than later

  4. 8.0 |   Kerrang!

    So, Fall Out Boy have pulled something of a switcheroo on us. So Much (For) Stardust does have a foot in a past FOB, but where they're taking you is somewhere you weren't expecting, and it's equally welcome. Just as importantly, they sound like Fall Out Boy again

  6. 8.0 |   All Music

  7. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    While there's no doubt Fall Out Boy have probably believed in their last 15 years’ worth of output, this is the first time that actually feels like they're reaching into something truer to themselves

  8. 8.0 |   Dork

    By the time the bombastic and addictive title-track closes things out, Fall Out Boy have achieved something remarkable; that after years of fans comparing their past to their future, the two eras of the band feel reconciled

  9. 8.0 |   NME

    The Chicago band's eighth album sees them both advancing their sound and acknowledging their roots

  10. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    Probably Fall Out Boy's best album in 15 years

  11. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    [Love From The Other Side] kicks off a four-song punch of the band’s finest pop writing in ages. ... Some of the other reaches toward pop don’t work as effectively. ... As always, Fall Out Boy’s riskier feats are some of the strongest
