A decent character piece for Julian, really putting his ego in check for once, but outside of that it feels incredibly formulaic and is ultimately quite forgettable. That alone makes it feel quite out of place in DS9's fourth season, because for the most part even the weaker episodes don't suffer from being forgettable.
There's very little to get excited about, no real drama or conflict. On the plus side it makes good use of an excellent location which is visually quite a treat given the usual Star Trek alien worlds we see. We also get to see a very different side of the Dominion in which they didn't use violence but still managed to destroy an entire world.
And also, how great does Jadzia look with her hair down?!
