[[Kirkus Reviews|Kirkus Reviews”]] provided a mixed review, calling ”Her Last Flight” “an inventive if imperfect solution to a decades-old mystery.” They explained, “Williams’ otherwise imaginative novel front-loads a lot of exposition […] The action is significantly slowed by technical details about surfing and flying that are sometimes engrossing but often gratuitous. Only halfway through does tension ramp up as Irene and Sam contemplate a future together and confront a giant impediment […] Plenty of twists ensue, but by now readers may have lost patience. Williams has a fine ear for period-appropriate dialogue, leading us to wonder why there isn’t more of it.”{{Cite web |date=2020-03-29 |title=Her Last Flight |url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/beatriz-williams/her-last-flight/?page=2 |access-date=2023-08-26 |website=[[Kirkus Reviews]] |archive-date=2023-08-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230826055606/https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/like-dislike/2000225472/ |url-status=live }}
