RPGFan have posted an enthusiastic review of the Hordes of the Underdark expansion. None of the partial scores drops below 92% and the overall is 95%. Here's what they say:

But a rollercoaster of a story is not the only thing this game features. Along with massive improvements to the storyline come incredible advances in gameplay, as well. With the addition of six new prestige classes, epic levels, and sixteen epic creatures, Hordes of the Underdark certainly features a challenge never before found in Neverwinter Nights. Unlike as with the first expansion, the prestige classes are much more than just a novelty. While I did find the quintet of Shadows of the Undrentide enjoyable, I felt that their applicability was severely hampered by various weaknesses. The prestige classes of the second expansion, however, are far more intriguing. I actually restarted the game three times before I chose a character with which to finish the game simply because I could not choose which of the new classes to play. From the mysterious Shifters and Palemasters to the combat-ready Dwarven Defenders and Red Dragon Disciples, all the new classes provide for a unique gaming experience that urges the player to experiment with every character possibility available.
