"The Lost Boy" received mixed reviews from critics. Michelle Graham from Film School Rejects negatively reviewed the character of Scott and his actor, Chris Riggi, noting his lack of presence "[...] if his storyline this week wasn’t so fundamental to the progression of the rest of the season, I’d probably have forgotten him again. Graham panned Riggi's portrayal of Scott, stating "[He] seems to only do two moods, bland and irate bland." Graham praised the return of Georgina but felt that the character of Scott was bringing down Georgina. "It’s a pity we lose her flair along with his sour puss, but since she’s got a regular spot over on the new medical drama on NBC (“Mercy“) we’re lucky to have her at all." Graham considered the storyline for Chuck and Blair fighting over an auctioned photo "forced" but found the cause of both characters wanting to claim it to be interesting. Graham also praised Blair's self-conviction. "[...] it’s understandable for Blair to automatically assume that she’s been selected for a secret society, as she believes it to be her right." [7]

"It looks like Gossip Girl, while not exactly setting the world on fire, continues to give us just enough to keep us interested. Oh, and then there’s the cryptic exchange between Bree and Carter, maybe that character will actually gain a dimension." [7]
