Reception
Brian Winters from The Pier said "Lost Tropics, The band's first full-length rides on the heels of two successful, jam-packed EPs Yellow Mellow (2013) and In Purple (2015). Lost Tropics is Ocean Alley's effort to combine the raw, upbeat energy of Yellow Mellow with the dark, tantalizing sounds from In Purple."

Rolling Stone Magazine said "While the core of Ocean Alley's sun-soaked psych-reggae roots remain, Lost Tropics is a bold statement of confidence. The refined production tames the introduction of more experimental jazz, pop and prog elements... Ocean Alley craft a uniquely unforced balance between their unrestrained rock fusion and a pop directness"
