Critical reception

"Fly with Me" was met with mixed reviews from music critics. Bill Lamb of About.com stated, "[W]ith the piano, harp and chimes [sic] sounds [...] we begin an ultimately annoying program of guess which new instruments and even new genre we'll attempt on the next track."^[5] Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine said of the song, "sound like outtakes from recent parody of the band on South Park."^[6] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly described the track as "wholesome" and " bow dutifully to the Jonases' younger fan base."^[7]

Music video

The music video premiered on the Disney Channel on June 7, 2009, and was uploaded to group's YouTube account on the same day.^[8] It features footage of the group rehearsing the song with backstage "behind-the-scenes" video clips of their 2009 World Tour preparation and rehearsals.
