—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

—School Library Journal (starred review)
Boyce'due south modernized sequel to Ian Fleming'due south classic faithfully reflects the elements of the original, and the nods to Fleming'south book and the subsequent movie make this retread of the ultimate family road trip even more enjoyable... The Tootings, however, hold their ain when it comes to aptitude for zany adventures, and then fifty-fifty readers with no knowledge of Dick Van Dyke or Truly Scrumptious will desire to tag along for the family unit's run-ins with machine-obsessed thieves, giant squids, and rogue spies. Berger's energetic line-and-launder illustrations depict a thoroughly modernistic biracial family, completing the successful retooling of a dearest classic. Mr. Potts would be proud.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Unlike other trendy returns to classic British stories, this isn't a narrative sequel to Ian Fleming'south 1964 children's book. Rather, the esteemed Boyce revisits the general concept of auto-aerial exploits equally their camper van, rehabbed with a mysterious old engine found in a junkyard tree, flies the Tootings across the earth, dodging evildoers and reassembling itself with missing pieces, such equally headlights from the Eiffel Tower. The tone is contemporary, becoming much more Lemony Snickety as the plot progresses. The novel stands on its own as a satisfying, fresh family take chances, and readers will look forrard to 2 forthcoming volumes.
—Booklist

—Kirkus Reviews
Any sequel worth the proper name would require plenty of beatnik humor and absurd villains and a dose of magical realism, all of which happily burst from the pages of CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG FLIES Once more, a novel for ix- to 12-year-olds that puts the famous racing car in a mod setting… A jolly good ride.
—Wall Street Journal
Frank Cottrell Boyce creates a fitting tribute to the Ian Fleming classic with this companion book starring the loving Tooting tribe and a family camper with a will of its ain... Boyce makes the family dynamics the greatest source of sense of humor in a volume the whole family tin enjoy. A clever homage...
