Reception
Music critic Dan Goldwasser of Soundtrack.NET calls the song an "upbeat song" which "immediately grabs the listener". Additionally, the "(I) Get Lost" has got an important part of making the movie soundtrack The Story of Us a "relaxing score". The music website AllMusic rates the single release with one and a half of five possible stars. Billboard magazine's Chuck Taylor thinks, "you will be speechless" after hearing the single, because the release is an "absolutely enchanting and bold effort by this timeless artist to step to the late–1990s plate instead of letting reflective ballads redefine his image as an aging AC balladier". Taylor goes on in his review for the music magazine, stating: "Every element of this song shines, from its light but intelligent lyric about being lost without the one he loves (though, at the same time implicationg her as less than the perfect mate) to an overwhelmingly catchy chorus. But it's the production that will elevate 'Lost' above the pop patter out there, with its dignified demeanor wrapped in a toe-tapping vibe that will delight the nation. Even the die-hards who look back to his simpler rock days will find an appreciation in this ditty, a sure step forward for an artist who demands to be noticed by the mainstream this time around. This is surprising, great fun and a sure-fire hit".Chuck Taylor https://books.google.com/books?id=gggEAAAAMBAJ Reviews & Previews – Pop Singles > (I) Get Lost Billboard Magazine Nielsen Business Media, Inc. 111 48 0006-2510 27 November 27, 1999 November 13, 2015
