To Fly! was well-received by many film critics; John Alderson of the Chicago Sun-Times summarized that "the subject charms its imagination, while the IMAX format goes right to the brink of sensory overload". Contemporary critics called it underrated and electric, with David Handler of the Newspaper Enterprise Association dubbing it "the ultimate film trip". The Washington Post called it an icon of the city and a must-watch to all Washingtonians. The film was cited by scholars and authors as examplifying the role of screen size in amplifying a film's kinesthetic thrills. Some called To Fly! one of the best IMAX films, with guides like the Michelin Green Guide and one by BioScience calling it a must-watch for those planning to visit the NASM.
