[[Paul Cornell]], [[Martin Day]], and [[Keith Topping]] gave an unfavourable review of the serial in ''The Discontinuity Guide'' (1995), writing that it was "a typical coincidence-based Dalek story of hammy deaths and ridiculous escapes. A reworking of the themes and set pieces of ''[[The Daleks]]'', with pacifism and an anti-nuclear stance becoming weak monologues on bravery and caution."<ref name="disctoninuity">{{cite book |title=[[The Discontinuity Guide]] |last1=Cornell |first1=Paul |authorlink1=Paul Cornell |last2=Day |first2=Martin |authorlink2=Martin Day |last3=Topping |first3=Keith |authorlink3=Keith Topping |year=1995 |publisher=[[Virgin Books]] |location=London |isbn=0-426-20442-5 |pages= |chapter=Planet of the Daleks|chapterurl=https://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/planetofdaleks/detail.shtml }}</ref> In 2010, Mark Braxton of ''[[Radio Times]]'' awarded it three stars out of five, describing ''Planet of the Daleks'' as "an exciting story, but a tawdry spectacle" with it being "continually compromised" in production values. While he found that some elements of the story were enjoyable, he felt that it lacked emotional continuity and the Daleks did not impress.<ref name="Radio Times">{{cite web|first=Mark|last=Braxton|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2010-02-07/planet-of-the-daleks|title=Doctor Who: Planet of the Daleks|work=[[Radio Times]]|date=7 February 2010|accessdate=3 March 2013}}</ref> [[DVD Talk]]'s John Sinnott found the story more enjoyable than ''[[Frontier in Space]]'', praising the way Nation "filled the plot with creative other-worldly creatures and devices and used them nicely to move the story".<ref name="DVD Talk">{{cite web|first=John|last=Sinnott|url=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/40637/doctor-who-dalek-war-planet-of-the-daleks/|title=Doctor Who Dalek War: Frontier in Space & Planet of the Daleks|date=23 February 2010|accessdate=3 March 2013}}</ref> In the book ''Doctor Who: The Episode Guide'', Mark Campbell also rated as better than Frontier in Space, awarding it eight out of ten, concluding "a believable jungle setting and ambitious (if unoriginal) ideas make this live-action comic strip romp breeze along in fine style."<ref>{{cite book |last=Campbell |first=Mark |title=Doctor Who: The Episode Guide |date=2010 |publisher=Pocket Essentials |isbn=1842433482 |edition=
