Allmusic.com gave Last Time Around a 3 star review:
This was in some sense a Buffalo Springfield album in name but not in spirit, as the songwriters sometimes did not even play on cuts written by other members of the band. Neil Young’s relatively slight contribution was a particularly tough blow. He wrote only two of the songs (though he did help Richie Furay write “It’s So Hard to Wait”), both of which were outstanding: the plaintive “I Am a Child” and the bittersweet “On the Way Home” (sung by Furay, not Young, on the record). The rest of the ride was bumpier: Stephen Stills’ material in particular was not as strong as it had been on the first two LPs, though the lovely Latin-flavored “Pretty Girl Why,” with its gorgeous guitar work, is one of the group’s best songs. Furay was developing into a quality songwriter with the orchestrated “The Hour of Not Quite Rain” and his best Springfield contribution, the beautiful ballad “Kind Woman,” which became one of the first country-rock standards.
