Critical reception[edit]
'Lost' received positive reviews from music critics praising the production and usage of Auto-Tune to reveal an honest performance by Zoe. Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews praised the synth production and use of Auto-Tune to give Zoe a heartfelt performance, saying that 'You might not think someone with Zoe's deep raspy flow could pull off crooning, but Drumma Boy plays to his strengths and gives him a joint he can sing low and slow over.'[1] Nathan Slavik of DJBooth was surprised by the honesty and self-awareness delivered by Zoe about his newfound lifestyle, saying that 'Lost' is a display of the lyricist lurking behind Zoe’s gravel-voiced swagger, dropping carefully constructed lines like “I’m losing my mind, I’m losing control...of the wheel swerving on and off the road.” That’s right, Zoe dropped a dope metaphor. Suck on that haters.'[2] Brendan Frederick of XXL called it 'a brink-of-insanity cry for help that’s filled with booming 808s and sing-along digital harmonies.'[3]AllMusic's David Jeffries felt that the introspective lyricism were being overshadowed by sophomoric humor, calling it 'a heartfelt song about loneliness that would work splendidly if it wasn't for the diaper talk.'[4]
