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".[4]

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."
