Lucy Mapstone from The Irish News called the album an "unapologetic pop piece that reminds you that yes, she really can sing [...] McCutcheon takes you on a comfortably familiar journey with her ballad-heavy record, her musical style and vocals straight out of the 1990s – fixed in time, but pleasingly so. Unsurprisingly, it's not the most daring record but McCutcheon provides a welcome break from the current charts fodder of heavily-produced tracks."[2]
Commercial performance
Lost and Found peaked at number 17 on the UK Albums Chart, becoming McCutcheon's highest-charting album since the release of her debut album You Me & Us, which peaked at number 2 in 1999.[4]
