The Vancouver Sun stated that "Dan Stuart has taken it upon himself to be the chronicler of the Great American Nightmare—the white trash world of the underclass."[9] Trouser Press wrote that Green on Red "keep messing around in old Stones turf, but the resonant Memphis mood that made sense of the previous LP is in short supply here."[16] The Los Angeles Times deemed This Time Around the band's "leanest, meanest album yet."[13] The Austin American-Statesman opined that "the sound is reminiscent of classic-era Rolling Stones."[17]
AllMusic wrote that, "by this time Stuart's drunken-loser schtick has worn thin."[11]
