Aare Pilv's first texts appeared in newspapers in 1993, his first book in 1995. Critics saw in Pilv's texts on the one hand the “very conscious reserve of an esthete”, but on the other hand also the clearly recognizable postmodernist . Since Pilv is also a literary scholar, his poetry moves "much more on the philosophical than on the emotional level."

In one of Pilv's subsequent volumes of poetry, which were regularly reviewed in the leading literary magazines Looming and Vikerkaar , a critic stated that Pilv's poetry was "always balanced between poetry and the prosaic short form," and hoped for an early prose debut. This was partly done in his next book, but finally in 2010 with his autobiographical travel book Ramadan , which was mainly written in Italy. It was received very positively by the critics and compared, for example, with Viivi Luik's book about her time in Italy, published in the same year.

A selection of Aare Pilv's poems were translated into Swedish by Peeter Puide (2004). Pilv also translates from Russian.
