Allmusic.com gave Buffalo Springfield a 4 1/2 star review:

Not to be confused with their self-titled debut album, this double LP, which can still be found without too much hassle, is clearly the best Springfield compilation.  It does miss some good songs, especially from the first album, but zeroes in on their very best work, and includes a nine-minute version of “Bluebird” available nowhere else, as well as excellent liner notes.
