Writing for ABC News, reviewer Peter Travers said that the movie "is made up of spare parts from better movies and at over two-hours in length, it’ll be tough on short attention spans. On the plus side, it is way better than Haunted Mansion and Tomorrowland, other Disney rides that morphed into movies." Travers concluded, "Jungle Cruise may be dim, dopey and derivative, but the kids will love it, and like the Metallica song in the film, 'nothing else matters'."

Rolling Stone reviewer David Fear was mostly but not entirely negative in his assessment the film, describing it as an "attempt to sell the Magic Kingdom’s vintage, colonialism-a-go-go boat ride as the next big endless-summer-movie thing." Fear added "everything settles into a well-worn, familiar Jungle Adventure 101 groove. It turns out that Blunt’s tart apple crisp of a comic performance pairs nicely with Johnson’s beefcake served with a side of ham."

Writing in the New York Times, Jeannette Catsoulis was negative about the film, saying that the plot is "mostly unintelligible and wants to beat you into submission", adding that the film "exhibits a blatantly faux exoticism that feels as flat as the forced frisson between its two leads", and concluding that the movie is a "soggy mess".
