Reception Professional ratings Review scoresįrom contemporary reviews, Jess Harvell stated that Rumble in the Jungle, as a collection of 1990s jungle music, 'is not necessarily the perfect introduction to a genre that's become something of a forgotten story', but that new fans to the genre 'will find it easy to look past the deficiencies that longtime jungle obsessives (including myself) have been complaining about on message boards and blogs- the obviousness of the tracklisting, the deathly dry packaging, the deeply contentious liner notes, the preponderance of tracks by renegade hip-housers Shut Up and Dance- Rumble may still one of the best (or at least easy to actually procure) old-school jungle comps for newbies that's currently out there.' Colin Buttimer of BBC Music praised the album stating that 'Every one of Rumble in the Jungle’s thirteen tracks is brimming over with life and sonic thrills' and that 'some of this music was released in ‘91, but it sounds like it was made yesterday. The track 'Super Sharp Shooter' was only included on the CD version of the album.

Rumble in the Jungle was released on April 30, 2007, by Soul Jazz Records on compact disc and vinyl.

Robin Wilks of Plan B magazine described the compilation as a combination of the 'super hits' with tracks like 'Incredible', ' Original Nuttah', 'Super Sharp Shooter') along with obscure odds and ends.
