Reception

Rita Erlich of The Age commented on the first episode and said "Noel Robinson's script had a few rough patches, but showed beautifully how children model their behavior on that of their parents."

Looking back at the series Jill Morris of The Age said that the cast had to "struggle against a poor script and a host of stereotypes".
