Both parts are among the best episodes of the second season and a fine way to end it. As well as a couple of not too major annoyances that are thankfully outweighed by what works so well.

While preferring the darker, more emotionally varied and meatier second part, Part 1 is still very good indeed with a lot of fantastic things. The season ended on a very good/great, if not quite flawless, note with the two part finale "A Canterlot Wedding". The season did vary post-"Luna Eclipsed", thankfully more hits (the best being "Sisterhooves Social", "A Canterlot Wedding Part 2" and "Hurricane Fluttershy") though than near-misses (four episodes particularly are disappointing, "The Mysterious Mare Do Well", "Hearts and Hooves Day", "Putting Your Hoof Down" and "Dragon Quest", but still don't consider any of them unwatchable, more average at best). Season 2 started off great and very promisingly, very much like how Season 1 started off.
