To Drink the Rainbow was curated by Peter Paphides, the founder of Needle Mythology, with assistance from Tikaram. As a fan of Tikaram's work, Paphides wanted to compile a compilation that focused on her later, post-teenage work. As a result, tracks from Tikaram's first two albums, Ancient Heart (1988) and The Sweet Keeper (1990) are omitted, although an acoustic version of "Valentine Heart" is included as a bonus track.[2] Tracks from Lovers in the City were also omitted.
The compilation was released on CD and vinyl LP, with the latter being limited edition, containing a two-track seven-inch EP, a signed lyric sheet and postcard.[3]
In a 2019 retrospective on the top 100 reissues, soundtracks and compilations of the year, The Quietus listed To Drink the Rainbow at number 80.[4]
