Sam Wiseman of The Skinny commented that "the LP is mostly a straightforward blend of classic jungle breaks and Rastafarian vibes."[15] He added, "Jungle Revolution may not herald a new century, but it's a concise, infectious mashup of some of the most vital genres that emerged from 90s club music."[15] James Williams of Exclaim! stated, "The 150-bpm ragga bangers that we all know and love are present and correct, alongside more roots-based tracks and sub-heavy workouts, but the fantastic thing about Jungle Revolution is the feeling of the torch being passed to the new generation."[12] He described it as "an LP that manages to look forward while honouring the past simultaneously, which is no mean feat these days."[12] David Jeffries of AllMusic stated, "Bits of television and movie dialog work themselves in and out of the extremely busy mix, but On-U Sound's Adrian Sherwood is well in charge of the mix, and with Skip McDonald guest starring on guitar, this one is top veteran stuff."[10]
