The album features production from Starr's fellow Low Budget Crew members Kev Brown and Oddisee, as well as Illmind, Khrysis and DJ Roddy Rod.

Album guests include Talib Kweli, Asheru, Supastition, Median and Darien Brockington.

JIVE Magazine praised the album, granting a 41⁄2 Star rating, stating "there shouldn’t be any argument over Kenn Starr’s status as one of thee best MCs in the game."

AllHipHop.com writer Andrew Kameka commented "Starr Status remains strong thanks to his wit and exceptional delivery.

"[3] RapReviews.com writer Andrew Matson gave the album a humble rating, saying "he needs to hold himself to a much higher standard if he wants to make good on his potential to be a clever, emotional, mature emcee with technical skills"..."Starr Status is, to me, a frustrating listen because of what it could have been.
