Contemporary reviews from The Canberra Times in 1988 include David Vine's: "acclaimed almost universally as a disaster of epic proportions" and Jeannie Zakharov's: "the national broadcaster did not have much luck with bomb's like ... the aptly named The Last Resort, which finally ground to a halt last week." More recent descriptions include The Age's Brenda Niall in 2004, who discussed Nowra's work "[it] ended badly ... [he] became aggressive and abusive. The series was a disaster." Also in 2004 Susan Lever of National Centre for Australian Studies, "thought [it was] fascinating and found its very mix of styles led to almost obligatory viewing during its run" and that, "Critical damnation, final though it seems, really is as transient as television broadcasting itself."
