Wendy Ide of Screen International wrote that "the story feels a little thin" and that "although the story deals with emotionally wrenching themes, there is a coolness here which keeps us at arm's length".^[4] Eddie Harrison of The List gave the film a score of 4 out of 5, writing, "Where 2010's Remember Me used the 9/11 attacks as a punchline, The Last Photograph seeks out where the story hurts the most and sticks with it. The narrative is simple and contrivances are few – this film is about bereavement, short and sharp."^[5]
