Day Dreaming at Midnight is an album by the American band the Sir Douglas Quintet, released in 1994.

[2][3] Doug Sahm was motivated to reform the band due to his son Shawn's musicianship and the encouragement from Metallica's manager Cliff Burnstein.

[18] The Indianapolis Star noted the "mixture of twanging, Tex-Mex and bluesy rock, simple Vox organ chords that got kids dancing at the high school hop 30 years ago, and some power 'wall of guitars' sound to remind you that it's 1994.

"[23] The Calgary Herald determined that "the ol' cosmic cowboy-rocker leads his new Sir Douglas Quintet through vintage and yet still vital territory, somewhere between John Hiatt and Roky Erickson, between the '60s and the '90s, and somewhere all its own.

"[17] AllMusic called the album "the first one that featured Sahm in a totally hard rocking context, the tracks jumping from one heavy groove to the next like some kind of old Saturday night FM underground radio show hosted by rowdies.
