AllMusic's Mark Deming called Lost & Found "the best record this fine band would ever make." [1] No Depression also viewed it as the band's best. [8] Billboard called it "ragged but righteous." [9] Trouser Press wrote that "more than just a pedigree to brag about, the band’s genuine hick beginnings make them a lot less inhibited and more apt to cross from cool to corny, punk to heavy metal without fretting much about it."

The band made a music video for "White Lies," which got regular airplay on MTV in the 1980s. [10]
