Critical reception
"Lost in Your Light" was met with mixed reviews from
Bianca Gracie of Fuse appreciated the singers' "smooth-as-velvet" vocals and labelled the song "vibrant" and "lustful".[15] DIY's Alim Kheraj criticized the song, writing that it is missing some of Lipa's personality.[29] Sebas E. Alonso of Jenesaispop viewed that Robyn could have sung the song in Glee (2009–2015).[11] The staff for The Singles Jukebox gave an average rating of 6.50. Maxwell Cavaseno praised Lipa's aim for the "Laura Branigan of 21st-century dance-rock."[8] Ryan Reed from Rolling Stone regarded the song as "seductive" and Miguel's appearance as "passionate."[4] The song was also placed at number 34 on Rolling Stone's "50 Best Songs of 2017" list, with the publication writing that it is "a starlit rollerskating jam about love's all-consuming joys," as well as saying the song "gets its kicks from its depths-plumbing groove and the crazy-in-love vocals of its two principals."[30]

Music video
The music video for "Lost in Your Light" premiered via Lipa's YouTube channel on 26 May 2017.[39] The video was directed by Henry Schofield and filmed in Los Angeles.[40] The visual opens with Lipa walking down a street, where she turns a corner and walks into a parking lot. In the following scene, she begins to kick up her legs when three people join her performing spasmodic choreography. Lipa then stops at a Jeep, where she suddenly begins to levitate. She lands on a building where Miguel joins her. The singers later levitate off the building, before it becomes midnight and they land in the parking lot. A group of dancers join them, snapping their fingers. Lipa and Miguel are then seen walking towards each other on a ledge, before Lipa off falls backwards. The video closes with Lipa and Miguel dancing in daylight inside the parking lot, with the back up dancers.[16]
Reed viewed the visual as "minimalist," while DIY called it "cinematic and romantic."[16][40] In V, Carolyn Hanson praised the visual's surreality and wrote about the "otherworldly quality to both the auditory and visual experience."[41] Popjustice complimented Lipa's wirework, writing that it looks as though she is actually flying, while also writing that she did a better job than Harry Styles in "Sign of the Times" (2017).[42] For Vibe, Mark Braboy called the visual "alluring" and stated that it captures "pure dreamy romance" while also commending Lipa and Miguel's onscreen chemistry.[43]
