Critical reception

Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club gave the album a grade of B+, saying, "Flyer loses some of its laconic, conversational charm in its weaker second half, but the album still serves notice that the great Chicago hip-hop explosion of '06 has officially gone co-ed."[3] Jeff Vrabel of Billboard said, "Psalm's dedication is compelling, and her smart choice of banging, old-school-leaning beats lend her power as one of Chicago's new forces to watch."[4]

Mike Schiller of PopMatters gave the album 7 stars out of 10, saying, "She has the flow to match her lyrics, expertly navigating a 6/8 or busting out with a few lines of double-speed action just as easily as she takes down a typical 4/4."[8] Dalia Cohen of Exclaim! said, "[the] beats range from smooth and laidback with twang-y, blues guitar riffs and soulful vocal loops to some Latin and Indian inspired rhythms, some upbeat joints and straight-ahead hip hop."[6]
