Reception
- Rolling Stone (9/27/01, pp. 67–8) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Explodes beyond the confines of what has become a played-out sound... songs on a passion so fierce they're almost exhausting to listen to.... Without resorting to ham-fisted angst, P.O.D. push all the right emotional buttons."[8]
- Spin (p. 89) - "[They] sang from the heart about school shootings, losing parents, and being truly alive."
- Q magazine (1/02, p. 106) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...heavy, angry, and very, very loud....many songs have messages of peace and spirituality....their Gen-X angst sounds genuine..."
- CMJ (10/1/01, p. 16) - "[Its] honest spiritual subject matter coupled with crack-your-skull riffs work like a well-oiled machine."[9]
- Revolver put Satellite on its list called "10 Nu-Metal Albums You Need to Own".[10]
