The Blonde in the Thunderbird opened on July 17 to mostly negative reviews. Eric Grode in his Broadway.com Review wrote: "One-woman musicals require more than sparkle and resiliency. They also require more than a little talent, which makes the shoddily constructed The Blonde in the Thunderbird the title comes from Somers' tiny role in American Graffiti a grim, at times excruciating evening."
