Blues for the Lost boasts an intriguing concept, as it captures John Mayall reminiscing about all the friends, family, heroes, lovers, and places he has loved and lost over the years. The album is startling in its unvarnished autobiographical approach. Lead guitarist Buddy Whittington contributes some good solos. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide
