In her book about the soundtrack of the series and film, Clare Nina Norelli noted that pieces are "informed by jazz" and generally "set up a different atmosphere from that of the series".{{Cite book |last=Norelli |first=Clare Nina |url=https://www.google.pt/books/edition/Angelo_Badalamenti_s_Soundtrack_from_Twi/X2_BDQAAQBAJ?hl=fr&gbpv=0 |title=Angelo Badalamenti's Soundtrack from Twin Peaks |date=2017-02-09 |publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing USA |isbn=978-1-5013-2302-7 |language=en}}

In Music in Twin Peaks: Listen to the Sounds, the soundtrack was said to "[reinforce] physical and mental transformations and changes in characters".{{Cite book |last=Wissner |first=Reba |url=https://www.google.pt/books/edition/Music_in_Twin_Peaks/xHsqEAAAQBAJ?hl=fr&gbpv=1&dq=Twin+Peaks:+Fire+Walk+with+Me+music&pg=PT84&printsec=frontcover |title=Music in Twin Peaks: Listen to the Sounds |last2=Reed |first2=Katherine |date=2021-05-30 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-000-39661-4 |language=en}}
