The song has been singled out for critical praise,[5] with music journalist Steven Hyden calling it "the most rockin' song of all time."[6] Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine described it as a "claustrophobic, paranoid rocker" whose lengthy instrumental section "was dramatic and had a direction," unlike some others.[3] Brett Milano of udiscovermusic.com rated Fogerty's guitar solo as one of the 100 all-time greatest, stating that "he poured on the tension and the distortion, delivering a monster sound from the deep swamps."[7] On the other hand, Rolling Stone Magazine critic John Grissim considered "Ramble Tamble" to be the only "unsatisfying" song on Cosmo's Factory.[4]
"Ramble Tamble" developed from parts of the original version of an earlier Creedence Clearwater Revival song, "Commotion".[8]
