Curt Fields of the
Washington Post called Lost Change "a fun, sonic grab bag." Matt Conaway of
AllMusic also praised the album saying, "
will.i.am's Lost Change is a solid extension of the (beat-suite) movement, cozily nestling between
Jay Dee's "
Welcome to Detroit", a more rhyme-orientated opus, and
Pete Rock's
Petestrumentals...A sophisticated and musically enthralling endeavor that still manages to be accessible, Lost Change does an admirable job of implementing a host of different styles, without losing the listener in the process." ==Track listing==
