Critical reception

The Daily Vault's Mark Millan wrote that it is "definitely the album's strongest and most focused track". He added that Ross "once again delivers a heartfelt reading of the personalized lyric, 'You were the first who ever brought me out / Showed me what life and love was all about / Gave me things that I never need / You're in my thoughts, my every dream'." [2] Paul Willistein from The Morning Call noted that the singer "gets jiggy wit' the loopy 'Not Over You Yet'". [3] Kitty Empire from NME called it "some grown-up housey garagey disco-y nonsense that's really of no great consequence." [4] Chuck Campbell from Scripps Howard News Service described it as a "moderately hypnotic" song, "prodded by a politely percolating mechanical loop." [5]
