Critical response

In 1987, Henry C. Tejero of the Manila Standard named the series as the best musical variety show of 1987, stating that over the years, the series became "a compendium of musical and visual styles in local television. Superstar is the chronicle of Aunor's rise and fall and ultimate apotheosis as The Phenomenon."^[2]
