''An Airplane Carried Me to Bed'' was generally well received by music critics. Scott Fryberger of Jesus Freak Hideout gave a positive review stating, "Young handles his lyrics so well, with some of the best lyricism you could find in pop music." He praised songs such as "A Little Opera Goes A Long Way", "Captains of the Sky", and "Brielle". He also compared the acoustic sound to indie rock band [[Death Cab For Cutie]].<ref name=Jesusfreakhideout/> However, he was critical of the melodies remarking, "as good as they are, almost feel copy-and-pasted."<ref name=Jesusfreakhideout/> [[Billboard (magazine)|''Billboard'']] magazine stated, "Straying from the electronic-laced whimsical themes of Owl City, Young takes a more simple, honest approach to song-writing with Sky Sailing, resulting in a more lyrically grounded effort." ''Billboard'' called the song, "Tennis Elbow", as the "catchy standout track" and also called the album, "Young's more vulnerable side."<ref name="Billboard"/> Mikael Wood of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' remarked, "On ''An Airplane Carried Me to Bed'' he uses more acoustic guitar than keyboard, but the wide-eyed sentiment of these dreamy lost-love songs is tweenpleasingly familiar."<ref name="Entertainment Weekly"/> Glenn Gamboa of [[Newsday]] called the album "a more conventional indie-pop album."<ref name="Newsday"/>

Heather Phares of [[AllMusic]] gave a mixed review of the album stating, "Young's basic approach remains the same not just from project to project, but from song to song." She also added, "There aren't many peaks and valleys here, although 'Tennis Elbow' shows hints of [[Owl City]], 'Take Me Somewhere Nice' blossoms from playful electric pianos to accordions on its choruses, and 'A Little Opera Goes a Long Way' shows off Young's guitar solo skills."<ref name="AMG"/> Katie Toms of ''[[The Guardian]]'' stated, "'Brielle' is pretty, but essentially this is an album of excess material for the (admittedly legion) committed fans."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/jul/25/sky-sailing-an-airplane-carried-me-to-bed-album-review|title=Sky Sailing: An Airplane Carried Me to Bed|author=Katie Toms|website=[[The Guardian]]|date=July 25, 2010|access-date=April 26, 2023}}</ref> Dan Aquilante of the ''[[New York Post]]'' stated, "The melodies are gentle, often veering toward lullabies...
