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]
