Miles Raymer of Pitchfork called the mixtape "an epically audacious record, boiling down to essentially a 13-track demand from Le1f to be allowed access to a mainstream audience without sacrificing a shred of the identity that sets him apart from nearly every rapper a mainstream audience has been drawn to."[6] Mike Diver of BBC stated that "Fly Zone is streamlined, its production consistently excellent despite numerous contributors, none of whom work more than a single track."[4]
