''Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark'' was reviewed by the online version of ''[[Pyramid (magazine)|Pyramid]]'' on January 21, 2000.<ref name="Pyramid">[http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/sample.html?id=1360 Pyramid Review]</ref> The reviewer contends that this book continues the tradition of dungeon exploration in fantasy role-playing games to campaign worlds with dungeons, stating that with this book "we move to the next step -- campaign worlds that ''are'' dungeons".<ref name="Pyramid"/> The reviewer notes that the Underdark is "one of the most well known facets of the Forgotten Realms", with Menzoberranzan and "its most famous denizen", Drizzt Do'Urden being "some of the most famous pieces of the Realms".<ref name="Pyramid"/>

Shannon Appelcline wrote that it "is the single-most comprehensive sourcebook on the realms of the Underdark that lie beneath the ''[[Sword Coast]]''. It talks about the major peoples of the Underworld and details dozens of cities, including Menzoberranzan" and that "Boyd's extensive research results in ''Underdark'' being full of tiny references. For example, drow cities are drawn from the list in ''Drow of the Underdark'' and from obscure references in ''Menzoberranzan''".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17547/Drizzt-DoUrdens-Guide-to-the-Underdark-2e|title=Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark (2e) - Product History|last=Appelcline|first=Shannon|date=|website=Dungeon Masters Guild|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2019-11-27}}</ref>
