10/10 - allmusic:
When they hit the major labels, Urge Overkill followed through on their promise with the blistering Saturation. It's stadium rock by clever post-punkers who are smart enough to not let their carefully crafted image interfere with the music. Every one of the 12 songs is a killer, from the outlandish menace of "Stalker" to the moving ballad "Back on Me," as well as the tongue-in-cheek "Woman 2 Woman" and the radio hit "Sister Havana."

#47 - Best Albums 1993-2003 - Magnet Magazine:
This sexy beast of a record is so crisp and ready-for-prime-time that some in the know dubbed Saturation Urge Overkill’s Monkees record—i.e., others might’ve had a significant hand in the album’s performances...Saturation is the sound of Urge growing into its Nehru jackets and medallions on the major-label dime. Has there ever been a more poignant song about *&%^$ than “Bottle Of Fur”? A better song about a communist hottie than “Sister Havana”? Never.

Rolling Stone:
Saturation is to grunge what Cheap Trick's In Color was to punk. Urge don't ignore the aggression wafting up from the underground; you can hear it in the snarl of the guitars and the shotgun crack of Blackie Onassis' snare drum. There's even a nod to Big Black on the pitiless, feedback-belching "Stalker." But when guitarist Nash Kato beckons, "Come around to my way of thinking," on the opening track, "Sister Havana," it's also an invitation to another world, a world where melody and melodrama get their due.
