Ready to Fly is an album by the New Zealand band the Verlaines.

[4] The Indianapolis Star noted that "it's reminiscent of the Beatles without being a Beatles ripoff, and many of the songs could be show music without losing any of their pop-rock atmosphere.

"[7] The Toronto Star opined that "the songs off Ready to Fly prove the Verlaines have the power trio thing down, but it's still too concerned with tasteful rather than tasty.

"[8] The Columbus Dispatch wrote that, "at its busiest and most dense, the album is still about guitars (electric and acoustic), melody, a killer hook.

"[9] All songs written by Graeme Downes.
