Lewis called Till We Have Faces "far and away my best book".[6] This opinion was echoed by J. R. R. Tolkien. Robert Gorham Davis in the New York Times wrote that Lewis "still does not have all the equipment of a major novelist" but deemed it "much more convincing" than his religious novels. He praised it for being "firmly grounded in actual primitive religious practice" and wrote that the novel's "imaginative unity...exerts...[a] combination of awfulness, wonder and attraction".[7]
