Reception

Television writer Albert Moran, in Moran's Guide to Australian TV Series, wrote of the series that: "As against [Reilly and Sattler's] hit series Kingswood Country, which had worked so well as comedy not least because it had a crystal clear situation and very stereotyped and easily contrasted characters, Daily at Dawn had too many characters who were not sufficiently distinguished as types from each other, and too many normal types."^[2]
