 Michelle Erica Green while writing for TrekNation , felt that " Daedalus " was a remix of a variety of prior Star Trek episodes across a number of series including " The Ultimate Computer " , " Silicon Avatar " and " <unk> " amongst others . She felt that the relationship between Archer and Danica worked , as did the subplot with Tucker and T 'Pol . Jamahl Epsicokhan of the website " Jammer 's Reviews " described the episode as " an overall failed episode " and compared it to the Star Trek : Deep Space Nine episode " The Visitor " - an episode he described as " infinitely better " than " Daedalus " . He felt that the final arc of the episode was obvious from the start , but liked how the relationship worked between Archer , Erickson , and Danica because of the character development . He gave the episode two our of four stars .
