Reviews of the album were positive. Christopher Loudon of JazzTimes stated that he "always felt that the way [Mitchell] handled her own material was the only way it could be properly interpreted, and none of the pop or jazz vocalists who've since tackled Mitchell tracks have shaken my belief. Until now."{{cite magazine |first=Christopher |last=Loudon |title=Ian Shaw: Drawn to All Things |url=https://jazztimes.com/reviews/albums/ian-shaw-drawn-to-all-things/ |magazine=JazzTimes |date=1 July 2006 |accessdate=25 April 2019}} Andy Robson of Jazzwise said that "this isn't Mitchell 'done' jazz any more than it's Shaw gone west coast rock: it's just (just!) a gloriously musical album, with Shaw particularly drawn to Mitchell the story teller... if you want an album that's about touching souls, then look no further".{{cite magazine |first=Andy |last=Robson |title=Ian Shaw{{!}}Drawn to All Things |url=http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/pages/jazz-album-reviews/417-linn-akd-276- |magazine=Jazzwise |date=20 April 2006 |accessdate=25 April 2019}} Clive Davis of The Sunday Times said that "Shaw's rococo delivery takes some getting used to ... After three or four plays, though, the feathery vocals and the pop poetry seem a much better match."{{cite news |first=Clive |last=Davis |title=Ian Shaw: Drawn to All Things The Songs of Joni Mitchell |url=https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/ian-shaw-drawn-to-all-things-the-songs-of-joni-mitchell-pnlwz70sfrl |url-access=subscription |newspaper=The Sunday Times |date=16 April 2006 |access-date=25 April 2019}} Kathryn Shackleton of BBC Music said that Shaw "takes her canvas of angsty real life tableaux and stretches it over a jazz frame. It works. Beautifully. Shaw captures the poetry in Joni's songs with an eye-watering vocal range and bucketloads of soul... If you're into jazz but not Joni, don't be put off. Quality musicians and stylish scoring make this a superb listen."{{cite web |first=Kathryn |last=Shackleton |title= Ian Shaw – Drawn to All Things – Review |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/bj25/ |publisher=BBC Music |date=2006 |accessdate=25 April 2019}}
