The Hollywood Reporter
The result is a much more playable film than recent efforts, though Murphy will have to share the applause with young Yara Shahidi. - 70
Variety
An undemandingly pleasant, mildly amusing fantasy. - 67
Austin Chronicle
All in all, Imagine That is an amiable detour from its star's usual scatological skronk. Kids will empathize, parents will breathe a sigh of relief. - 63
Chicago Sun-Times
Amusing without ever being break-out funny. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
While Imagine That falls short of its feel-good aim, its feel-nice vibe is a good Father's Day diversion for Dads and their spawn. - 60
Village Voice
Imagine That does manage to get a crowd tearing up on cue for its emotional climax; as much as it works, it's through the personal charm of Murphy and Shahidi. - 60
New York Daily News
For the first time since "The Nutty Professor," Eddie Murphy successfully mixes his adult and kid-film personas -- imagine that. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
There's something sweet about the way that Murphy throws himself into this piffle. Thomas Haden Church does too.
