In a review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson wrote: "Stardust contains some highlights of two bop-oriented Coltrane dates from 1958... At both sessions, Coltrane's playing is quite engaging. He is a lyrical, expressive ballad player on 'Then I'll Be Tired of You,' 'Stardust,' and 'Time After Time,' but he swings fast and aggressively on 'Love Thy Neighbor'... Coltrane is well served by Garland's piano and Chambers' bass... Although not quite essential, Stardust paints a consistently attractive picture of Coltrane's 1958 output." [5]
Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers Jr. was an American jazz double bassist. A fixture of rhythm sections during the 1950s and 1960s, he has become one of the most widely-known jazz bassists of the hard bop era. He was also known for his bowed solos. Chambers recorded about a dozen albums as a leader or co-leader, and over 100 more as a sideman, especially as the anchor of trumpeter Miles Davis's "first great quintet" (1955–63) and with pianist Wynton Kelly (1963–68).
Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet is a studio album by the Miles Davis quintet recorded in 1956 and released in March 1958. Two sessions on 11 May 1956 and 26 October in the same year resulted in four albums—this one, Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet, Workin' with the Miles Davis Quintet and Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet. These four albums are considered to be among the best performances in the whole hard bop subgenre. The album was remastered by Rudy Van Gelder in 2005 for Prestige Records. This album includes dialogue snippets taken from the original master reel. As the title suggests, it also emphasizes Miles Davis' concentrated medium-register ballad playing.
