-The DS version of ''Drawn to Life'' received mostly positive reviews from critics, with many complimenting the concept, visuals, and story, whilst criticism was skewed towards the latter's repetitiveness and gameplay described by some outlets as "uninspired". According to Metacritic, ''Drawn to Life'' received mostly "Mixed or Average" reviews, based on 34 total reviews, with no negative reviews. The game was well received by critics in Japan.

 Reception of the iOS release was far less frequent, however the consensus towards this port was much more negative, with the few outlets who published reviews referring to it as a poor transition. Most criticism geared towards the port's poor optimization, particularly the control scheme and music and sound effects being mismatched. Again according to Metacritic, this version also received "Mixed of Average" reviews, based on 4 total reviews, though unlike the DS version, there were no positive reviews.

 * Two different boxarts exist for Drawn to Life; One features artwork seen in the title screen and was only used in the Japanese version and the pre-release North American boxart. The other boxart uses unique, oil painting style artwork with a more muted color palette, this was used in every other release of the game.
 ** Despite the changes, both boxarts share the same [[Hero]] artwork and game logo.
