We identify a class of potentials for which the semiclassical estimate $N^{\text{(semi)}}=\frac{1}{\pi}\int_0^\infty dr\sqrt{-V(r)\theta[-V(r)]}$ of the number $N$ of (S-wave) bound states provides a (rigorous) lower limit: $N\ge {{N^{\text{(semi)}}}}$, where the double braces denote the integer part. Higher partial waves can be included via the standard replacement of the potential $V(r)$ with the effective $\ell$-wave potential $V_\ell^{\text{(eff)}}(r)=V(r)+\frac{\ell(\ell+1)}{r^2}$. An analogous upper limit is also provided for a different class of potentials, which is however quite severely restricted.
