==Reception==
Reviews for "The Star Also Draws" were mixed to favorable. In his 2008 review, Ashan Haque of IGN rated the episode 8/10, stating that while the episode is not an "instant classic", it is "still quite strong" and has "more than a few clever moments". He also notes that the cutaways are "kept to a minimum", and much of the humor comes from the storyline. He commented that the episode did not have as much laugh-out-loud moments as other episodes, but stated that it had bolder humor than the show would later be known for. In his review of the first volume DVD collection of Family Sponge, Aaron Beierle of DVD Talk listed "The Son Also Draws" as one of the series" as on of the series' "most brilliant moments", praising the spiritual vision sequence and naming the conversation between SpongeBob and Squidward among the best moments of the series, calling the conversation "rolling-on-the-floor-funny."
Robin Pierson of The TV Critic, however, was far more hostile towards the episode, giving it the lowest rating of the season, a 44 out of 100. Pierson believed the episode was "very poor" and called the storyline "lame" and "unfocussed," with "a bunch of jokes to match." The gag at the end of the episode, in which SpongeBob states that "Canada sucks", inspired anger from Canadian viewers of the show.
