Detroit Free Press Terry Lawson
[The pilot] is now duly collected here, in a beautiful digital remaster, and in remixed 5.1 Surround, introducing us to the plastic-wrapped corpse of Laura (Sheryl Lee) and the eccentric inhabitants of the northwestern logging town of Twin Peaks, all of whom apparently loved her.

IGN Eric Goldman
The collection of extras are only slightly marred by previously released material not being included, but otherwise this is a proper tribute to a show worth the praise it continues to achieve.

Entertainment Weekly Ken Tucker
There are numerous fascinatingly frank mini-docs here, including interviews with many Peaks participants; together, they offer one of the best available portraits of how a TV hit can go off the rails.

if you already spent money on the previous Twin Peaks DVDs, prepare to sell them both, at least that pretty lackluster second season release, on eBay, because this gold-box edition is as definitive as its title promises.

The New York Times Dave Kehr
Remastered from previous releases, the film has an impeccable presentation, with crisp images that preserve the series’s odd (and, eventually, thematically significant) reddish tinge, and a new five-channel stereo remix that enhances Mr. Lynch’s typically careful sound design.
