Yet, Ferguson disapproved of "El Patron spanking Melina and Matt Striker having an orgasm over it", and she was also not invested in Texano, Blue Demon and their storyline. Jeremy Peeples, writing for the "Wrestling Observer", described Part 2 as "a stellar show overall - with only the Demon-Texano match dragging it down in any way, and that was short." The progression of the storyline between Dario Cueto and Black Lotus was described as "bizarre, but great", while Peeples highlighted the Vampiro-Pentagon match as an "unholy war" and "the most violent match on US television in ages", featuring blood licking that was "easily the most disgusting act [in professional wrestling] since Lynn-Corino in ECW". Vampiro, who entered as "the world's most badass priest", was said to have performed above expectations given "his age and many injuries", and was "a bigger star in this one match than he ever was in WCW". As it was the season finale, Peeples brought up several positives of the first season of "Lucha Underground": it was "gorgeous", the "overarching storylines were nutty, but interesting", "everyone fit their role nicely", and the show "raised the bar for expectations when it comes to backstage promos". Lastly, the "closing montage alone was beautiful and far more artistic than anything WWE has done". John Moore, writing for "Pro Wrestling Dot Net", said that Part 2 "didn't disappoint", and as a season finale it "tied up everything well, while also making you want more in the future". He went on to praise "Lucha Underground" as "not just a great wrestling show", but also "a great television series" which "combined both Sports and Entertainment so well to be the reigning Rey de (King of) Sports Entertainment". Moore praised the main event as "great", where both wrestlers made each other "look good" while "all of the action was extra smooth, from the moves to the selling", while describing Prince Puma as the "human video game protagonist". For the seven-way Gift of the Gods match, Moore liked how ""everyone" got to tell a story and have a chance to shine in this match". Praise was also given to Vampiro and Pentagón for establishing their characters and "telling a story" to produce "one hell of a match". However, it was not all positives as Moore could not stand "the fact that we had to get another minute of Chavo Guerrero in the ring in general".
