The reviews of the second season of Peacemaker have been positive so far. Many hailed its action sequences and how the thrill balances well with the emotional quotient of Smith's character.

"As it rips the DCU wide open with a plethora of references, fun & surprises, It's a hilarious yet truly moving exploration of Chris' longing for inner peace from the sins of his past with John Cena once again owning the role & rising to the throne of @JamesGunn's best character yet (sic)," read a review. Another one said, "It's propulsive, grade-A entertainment, fluent in political theory and cinema history, sexy and provocative, tight as a drum and thrillingly tactile. Bring tissues, but not because you're going to cry (sic)."
