Critical reception
Jose F. Promis from AllMusic complimented "I'm Not Over You" as "fun,jazzy,finger-snapping R&B". [2] Larry Flick from Billboard magazine felt the song "hangs on a similar [to "I'm in the Mood"] funk/hip-hop tip",adding that "she flexes her nicely matured voice to good effect,gingerly weaving in and around the rugged beat and pulsating synth melody." [3] Troy J. Augusto from Cash Box wrote,"Nice follow-up here to Peniston's last,semi-successful 'In the Mood' release will more than likely top that tune chart-wise. CeCe's powerful,accomplished vocal style and the song's undeniable groove should go a long way in further establishing Ms. Peniston’s urban/R&B credentials." He concluded,"A star in the making,for sure." [4]
Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report wrote,"Some artists have a way with setting just the right mood. That seems to be a gift that CeCe's been blessed with,and she has no problem putting this song through its proper paces." [5] Another GR editor,Annette M. Lai,described it as "hip-hop and jazz-flavored",naming it one of the "outstanding tracks" of Thought 'Ya Knew . [6] Ralph Tee from Music Week's RM Dance Update concluded,"With all its infectious hooks",this track "is the stand-out cut" of the album. [7] Mike Joyce from The Washington Post felt that "I'm Not Over You" "reveals her soulfulness." [8]
