In a 1994 profile of Th' Faith Healers in Spin, journalist Jim Greer wrote that Imaginary Friend saw the band refining their groove-oriented noise rock sound and experimenting with more varied musical styles.[6] AllMusic critic Stewart Mason retrospectively characterised it as "darker and less manic" than their 1992 debut album Lido.[7]
