Critical reception edit

The Skinny thought that Solar's "exquisite production skills are evident throughout all of Lost and Found but are most prominent on futuristic anthems 'Fastlane' and 'Cee What We Do'."[1] Complex called the title track "Guru at his most comfortable ... splicing a street corner aesthetic with divine wisdom and highbrow wit, the sole captain of his ship."[8]

AllMusic deemed the album "distinctively harder in tone and content than his JAZZMATAZZ efforts."[9]
