Critical reception

"Satellites" is one of the rare songs that both critics and the audience enjoy. The Swedish magazine Sonic named Satellites one of the top 15 Euro disco songs of all time. "The team of producers behind this lush dream, painted in equal parts viscos and house, have understood the genius of the eternally simple", writes their reviewer Sara Martinsson.[1]

Music video

The music video for the song premiered in the US on May 29, 2007 on CatchyTunes' Myspace account.[2] The video features multiple Septembers dancing around in a white room. The Septembers wear different colored scarves (red, yellow, and orange) and all wear a white dress.

The version of the audio track used in the video is different from the audio track found on the album.
