Geronimo became the featured artist in MTV 's Rising Star in September 2002, and she released her first album Popstar: A Dream Come True , in late 2002. Her first concerts, in conjunction with her first album, were staged in October 2003.

cquote|Catch Me, I'm in Love is thoroughly entertaining and watching it has got me thinking that Sarah Geronimo is to today’s Philippine cinema what Sharon Cuneta and Maricel Soriano were in their prime.

I am tempted to say that Philippine cinema has found its new queen! http://www.philippinenews.com/entertainment/1619-extended-catch-meim-in-love-winning-teamup-on-track-to-break-records-.html|30px|30px| In November of 2011, Geronimo made a movie again with Gerald Anderson in '' Won't Last A Day Without You which earned ?20 Million on its opening day.

Geronimo's voice is premier and her music encompasses all genres. http://www.celebritiesph.com/musicians/filipino-singers/sarah-geronimo.html International producer Christian de Walden praised Geronimo's voice and said "The personality of her voice is phenomenally distinct. Many have great voices but they tend to imitate foreign divas like Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston . She definitely is the biggest talent I have come across with in the last ten years..." http://www.mb.com.ph/node/84725
Influences
Geronimo has cited Michael Jackson as her major influence and she grew up singing and dancing to his music. http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx? articleId=508828& publicationSubCategoryId=86 Geronimo said “As a child my dream was to be hugely popular like Michael Jackson . I wanted to have that kind of worldwide fame,” added, “I want to be like him, while performing, everyone gets so wild and emotional. Besides that, I see him as not only a performer, he’s an inspiration to many people, and that’s what I also want to become.”
Camille Bersola of The Philippine Star described Geronimo as more than just a pop icon for being an inspiration especially to today's youth. She quoted "In amateur singing competitions, there will be at least three contestants that will have their own rendition of " To Love You More (Sarah Geronimo song)|To Love You More " or " Forever's Not Enough ". When these little girls are asked who their favorite singer is, and whose path they’d like to follow someday, you can bet more or less 75 percent of them will have the same answer: Sarah Geronimo." http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx? articleId=638353
Stage
Geronimo has received praised for her live stage performances. http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/2007/july/11/goodLife3.htm After Geronimo's concert in Araneta Coliseum dubbed as "The Other Side", The Manila Bulletin said:
"Sarah’s very successful concert showcased the various facets of her personality. She’s an old soul who can sing Celine Dion ’s " If I Could " and Mariah Carey ’s " Through the Rain " with such emotion. She’s an 80’s baby who can moonwalk to " Billie Jean " ala Michael Jackson . She’s a budding belter who can hit the high notes of Whitney Houston ’s " The Greatest Love of All " with the Asia's Songbird - Regine Velasquez ."
In 2009, Geronimo said in a press conference for her concert "Record Breaker" that she hopes to break new records as a concert artist and quoted “This is to showcase my new standards as a total performer. Hopefully I’ll give this show justice, entertain my audience and even make them dance with my performances all throughout the night.”
Geronimo's participation in the "What Love Is..." with Martin Nievera concert was described by Baby A. Gil of the Philippine Star with the comment, "Who needs a dancing Martin anyway when you have the long-limbed Sarah there, who is a daring, enthusiastic dancer? I like watching her dance and finding her moving even better now than the last time is a treat. Of course, she has also become an even better singer. To those who are wont to ask, has she gotten rid of her Celine Dion tendencies? Well, she still sings a good To Love You More (Sarah Geronimo song)|To Love You More , but she has obviously come to her own with fuller tones, nice, sexy low notes."
Public image
Quezon City Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte described Geronimo in The Philippine Star “She’s wholesome on and off camera, untainted by unsavory rumors. She’s an ideal daughter and that makes her a good role model for the youth.” http://www.philstar.com/funfare/Article.aspx? articleId=543719& publicationSubCategoryId=70 Wilson Lee Flores of The Philippine Star quoted "She is a breath of fresh air in terms of wholesome image, humility, real talent and source of good news for the Philippine entertainment industry". http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx? articleId=472852& publicationSubCategoryId=86 In 2005, Geronimo was awarded with "Pinoy Wannabe Awardee", a prestigious Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards given to a celebrity whom kids consider as their role model. http://mb.com.ph/node/82715
Geronimo however admitted it’s not always easy protecting that image especially since everyone looks up to her as a role model for young people. She said “It’s a bit hard although I’d like to become a role model. I rather take it as a big challenge because it is probably my purpose being here in this industry. This may also be the reason why I’m being trusted by companies to promote their products.”
