Entertainment WeeklyA CD packed with the sort of undeniable pleasures only the most churlish thug could deny. [15 Apr 2005, p.78]
-
The flow is intact, the rhymes are well written, and even though Smith hasn't crossed that line from pop friendly into hardcore gangsta... he's definitely a bit more rugged this time out.
-
Somewhere along the way, Smith lost his musical appeal, be it via constant, blatant commercialism or simply a decline in skills. Now, it seems, he's found the qualities that made him such a joy in the first place; the only question remaining is whether anyone is still listening.
-
Some of the playful songs are as joyously boisterous and willfully corny as anything in Smith's past, making Lost and Found an entertaining and thoughtful album for young kids and their parents to listen to and talk about.
-
Sure, sanitary party jams like "Switch" will get the PTA meeting rocking, but there's just no getting around Smith's insipid rhymes.
-
Somewhat entertaining.
-
His decision to stray from his usual blend of impish party tunes and extended jingles for the latest summer blockbuster constitutes one of the most ill-advised career moves since MC Hammer went gangsta.
-
His nice-guy-with-a-retrograde-flow shtick is fast running out of steam.
-
BlenderIt's ultimately unconvincing. [Jun 2005, p.115]
-
The lamest album that'll be released this year.

allanbAug 12, 2006This is a great album. It is really starting to make me mad how people have been criticising Will. Who are they to criticise.
