Lost River received negative reviews from its debut at Cannes, and holds a 25% positive rating on the film-review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 16 reviews. On Metacritic, the film has a score of 35 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian stated that the film is "colossally indulgent, shapeless, often fantastically and unthinkingly offensive and at all times insufferably conceited". Kate Muir of The Sunday Times indicated that "Ryan Gosling's Lost River is a lurid mash up of Lynch, Refn and Edward Hopper. In a bad way." Robbie Collin of The Telegraph called the film "dumbfoundingly poor" and stated that Gosling "confuses 'making film' with 'assembling Tumblr of David Lynch & Mario Bava gifs'".

Gosling's star sure has fallen after Drive and Crazy, Stupid, Love.

I'm not saying he isn't talented, I still think he's got massive potential, but he's currently in a rut of making pretentious bullshit that I think way too much time on the indie circuit is responsible for.
