„In its length, scope, sweeping visual tableaux, and over-the-top passion, Wild Palms is more like an opera than a TV show. […] Unlike Peaks, which started out brilliantly lucid and then rambled into incoherence, Palms sustains its length and adds layers of complexity to its characters. It also has something crucial that Peaks did not: a sense of humor about itself.“ – Besprechung in Entertainment Weekly vom 14. Mai 1993, abgerufen am 31. Januar 2012.
