Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "Stereo MC's drop some dope (and topical) rhymes on the funk-line hip-hopper "Lost In Music". Remixes by Ultimatum maintain the streetwise vibe of the album version while adding proper club-viable nuances. Love the Hammond organ fills and wriggling bass. Get "lost"."[6] James Hamilton from Music Week described the song as "Jagger-cum-ragga style drawled catchy rumblingly chugging pop rap."[7]
