During his review of the Spitzweg exhibition held in the Haus der Kunst in 2003, art critic Benedikt Erenz explained that Kites is one of the most beautiful pictures of Spitzweg, because the painter "releases the colors and lets them tell their own story... He transformed a banal scene into an eternal view over childhood".The Süddeutsche Zeitung, on October 17, 2008, described the painting as "huge", despite its small size. The lower third of the picture shows "earthly life", the upper two thirds a "truly infinite sky", and the dragon is a "magical, if not sacred object, an extraterrestrial appearance". It remains the painter's secret where the wind necessary for kite flying comes from  if the sky is completely clear.Art historian Angelika Wesenberg refers in the catalog of the Alte Nationalgalerie that the simple (horizontal) composition is daringly broken through by the vertical path and the kite line.
