  ## Reception
  
  In a review for Stack Magazine, Jeff Jenkins wrote "Faithful Satellite traverses bluegrass, blues, rockabilly, reggae, rock, gospel, and soul. 'Camilleri' is known for the vitality in his lyrics".
  
  Paul Cashmere, reviewing the album for Noise11, stated that the album is a 'masterpiece', adding that "The Faithful Satellite's beauty is in its diversity with rock, jazz, bluegrass, and country woven through the release. This often reminds long-time Camilleri fans of the various eras of Black Sorrows music across the last 30 years."
