Eric Goldberg reviewed The Lords of Underearth in Ares Magazine #10 and commented that "Lords demonstrates that small fantasy boardgames can be the result of quality work. The emphasis is on the simple and the playable, but never on the simplistic."{{cite journal | last=Goldberg | first=Eric | authorlink=Eric Goldberg (game designer) | title=Games | journal=Ares Magazine | publisher=Simulations Publications, Inc. | date=September 1981 | issue=10 | page=30-31}}
In a retrospective review of The Lords of Underearth in Black Gate, John O'Neill said "This is a fully featured game that offers a range of solitaire and 2-player scenarios deep in the heart of an ancient Dwarven fortress… all in 14 pages of rules and a box that can fit in your pocket. It's well worth a look."{{cite web | url =https://www.blackgate.com/2013/09/04/vintage-treasures-the-lords-of-underearth/ | title =Vintage Treasures | last =O'Neill | first =John | date =2013-09-04 | website =Black Gate | access-date =2022-03-10}}
