Describing her impression of the winners of the Debyut (Debut) Prize, the critic Lyudmila Vyazmitinova wrote about Ivaniv’s work:

“Ivaniv's texts seem to reproduce the multidirectional movements of many nested images born simultaneously in a saturated point in space, to which the author's gaze is directed. [...] But in all the texts, there is a desire for what Ivaniv himself has called "rising above the panorama" – this sets a certain vertical giving hope for a new horizon for a gaze that breaks through into a qualitatively new space of vision, sensation, and the ability to convey them - with a qualitatively differently organized community of words.”

In 2015, the online journal Kulturnaya Initziativa [kulturinfo.ru] published a short collection of poems dedicated to the passing of Victor Ivaniv.{{Cite web |title=Памяти Виктора Iванiва |url=http://kultinfo.ru/novosti/1834/ |access-date=2023-02-25 |website=Культурная инициатива |language=ru}}
