Rob Brunner of Entertainment Weekly said, "Sounds of the Satellites' entrancing blend of heavy bass, gurgling electronics, and moody melodies — sung with low-key intensity by former Moonshaker Margaret Fiedler — is rich enough to hold your attention even when it doesn't move your feet."[4] Jason Ankeny of AllMusic wrote that the album "is even better than its predecessor, a simultaneous expansion of the band's sonic palette and a brilliant refinement of their past innovations."[1]
All tracks are written by Margaret Fiedler and Guy Fixsen.
