"I'm Not Over You" is a song by American singer-songwriter and former beauty queen CeCe Peniston, originally recorded for her second album, Thought 'Ya Knew (1994), which was released on A&M Records. The single (in the UK available only as B-side of the "Hit by Love" release) achieved number two on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, and number ten on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. On the Billboard Hot 100, the song charted at number forty-one. The B-side of the single included "Searchin'", which was previously released only for promotional purposes.
Critical reception
Jose F. Promis from AllMusic complimented "I'm Not Over You" as "fun, jazzy, finger-snapping R&B".{{cite web|first= Jose F. |last= Promis |title= CeCe Peniston – Thought 'Ya Knew |publisher= AllMusic |access-date= 2020-11-08 |url= https://www.allmusic.com/album/thought-ya-knew-mw0000620986}} Larry Flick from Billboard felt that 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."{{cite magazine|first= Larry |last= Flick |title= Single Reviews |magazine= Billboard |date= 1994-04-23 |page= 75 |accessdate= 2021-03-18 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/90s/1994/BB-1994-04-23-N.pdf |author-link= Larry Flick}} 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."{{cite magazine|first=Troy J.|last=Augusto|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/90s/1994/CB-1994-04-30.pdf|title=Pop Singles — Reviews|magazine=Cash Box|date=1994-04-30|page=|accessdate=2022-02-28}}
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."{{cite magazine|first= Dave |last= Sholin |title= Gavin Picks: Singles |magazine= Gavin Report |date= 1994-06-17 |page= 62 |access-date= 2020-10-18 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Gavin-Report/90/94/Gavin-Report-1994-06-17.pdf}} Another editor, Annette M. Lai, described it as "hip-hop and jazz-flavored", naming it one of the "outstanding tracks" of Thought 'Ya Knew.{{cite magazine|first=Annette M.|last=Lai|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Gavin-Report/90/94/Gavin-1994-01-28.pdf|title=Gavin Picks — Albums|magazine=Gavin Report|date=1994-01-28|page=|accessdate=2022-03-12}} 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.{{cite magazine|first= Ralph |last= Tee |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1994/Music-Week-1994-01-15.pdf |title= Hot Vinyl |magazine= Music Week, in Record Mirror (Dance Update Supplemental Insert) |date= 1994-01-15 |page= 6 |accessdate= 2021-04-13}} Mike Joyce from The Washington Post felt that "I'm Not Over You" "reveals her soulfulness."Joyce, Mike (April 24, 1994).
