Critical reception

Kirkus Reviews considered that Imajica had surpassed his previous work like The Great and Secret Show (1989) and said that it was "an astonishing feat of the imagination, immensely engrossing despite its demanding—at times indulgent—length, running riot with ideas, fantastical inventions, graphic sex and violence, soul- terrors, and emotional and intellectual resonances."[2] And overall considered it Barker's best work yet.[2]
