Nintendo Life gave the game a 50, here is some of what they said:
Coming in the wake of its below average-rated predecessor, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a game that not only has a lot of potential but also a lot to make up for. As a concept it’s a good one: you get to draw your very own character as well as various in-game elements including platforms, falling blocks and even a surf-board to interact with during your platform adventure.

Sound good so far? Well in theory it should do, though in practice the unfortunate truth is that yet again Drawn to Life is something of a letdown. We begin, then, with the story.

Set in a world inhabited by strange creatures that look like a cross between cats and rabbits, we follow our main heroes Mari and Jowee as they seek to return the color that has been stolen from the world by the evil Wilfre – a symbiotic creature that has taken control of their friend Heather. In so doing they travel on the back of a giant turtle they have taken to using as a ship which they use to travel between game worlds.

Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a game with potential; a lot of potential. Unfortunately in many respects the designers seem to have been sorely lacking in the strength of their own convictions. The whole “drawn to life” concept is a good one, but the game is let down by uninspired platforming levels and a story that sucks any life out of the gameplay. Combine this with the fact that your designs rarely feature in the game and you have a very half-hearted effort of a game. It could have been a work of art, but instead it’s just a messy scribble.
