During a 2018 interview with Alec Baldwin on Baldwin's WNYC radio program "Here's the Thing," Kyle MacLachlan said that Blue Velvet had a pre-release test screening (then a common practice for studio films) in California's suburban San Fernando Valley. The test audience filled out comment cards after the screening, and, MacLachlan said, they were some of the worst response cards the studio had ever seen for any movie. MacLachlan remembered that everyone involved with the making of the film were despairing until the New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael reviewed the film and "explained it to people in a way, or pointed them in the right direction, or helped them to get a sense of what the world that they were seeing was about, and that started the slow movement of acceptance of the movie."
