No doubt the entropy criterion explains that a reaction will be spontaneous when there is increase in entropy ie increase in degree of randomness But if the system in which reaction is going on is a non isolated system and it has connection with surrounding such as it can exchange energy or mass with the surrounding we have to see entropy change not only in the system but also in the surrounding Consider that energy is lost by the system it goes into    See Answer
