Nintendo Power praised the game's graphics, controls, password feature, and variety of levels, but wrote: "The game doesn't really do anything that Super Mario World and countless other games have done just as well".[2] AllGame rated Congo's Caper three and a half stars out of five.[3] Power Unlimited gave the game a score of 80% writing: "Congo's Caper is a fun, varied platform game. Yet it is not a game that will be remembered by anyone as a seasoning. The controls are too stiff for that, and the levels are too easy for that.[5]
