Critical

Flight of the Flynns received mixed reviews upon initial release. Glide Magazine gave the album 5/11 stars, stating "Kunek doesn’t belong in the ambient bin, as it’s a bit more Badly Drawn Boy with a couple of Beatles moments thrown in, but most fans of the genre would appreciate the album.".[5] Independent artist review site DOA called the vocals "a little Radioheaded", but stated that "In the spirit of the concept album, Kunek arrange choice tracks that bleed into one another nicely"[3]
