Taking the example of the most popular and well-established Borel / Laplace / Exponential sum rule (LSR), I shortly review some of its recent applications in hadron physics namely the estimates of non-perturbative condensates, the determination of the light and heavy quark masses, the extraction of the heavy-light decay constants, the estimates of charmonium and bottomium molecule masses and the properties of scalar gluonium. In addition to the standard τ (sum rule variable) and tc (QCD continuum threshold) stablity criteria, I introduce a new stability criterion versus the arbitrary QCD subtraction point μ for extracting the optimal results when radiative QCD corrections are included. Future improvements on further uses of QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) are commented.
