In its album review, Rolling Stone wrote: "'Last of the American Girls' comes on as a fabulous left-wing love song to a rebel girl — when Armstrong sings, 'She won't cooperate,' he's giving her the highest compliment he can imagine."[3]

The song is playable as DLC in the video game Green Day: Rock Band.[4]

Music video

The music video for "Last of the American Girls" was directed by Marc Webb and released to MTV on April 1, 2010.[5] The video alternates between the band playing in a desert and the character Gloria (Lisa Stelly) who appears in the video for "21 Guns", and is also a protagonist in the story of the album 21st Century Breakdown. Gloria is shown taking part in everyday activities, such as brushing her teeth, watching television, and cleaning her nails.

It is Green Day's fourth video to feature touring guitarist Jason White performing with the band, following "21 Guns", "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Working Class Hero".
