Critical reception
editLarry Flick from Billboard wrote that Todd Terry "reminds club-land of his ability to construct catchy ditties that offer no apologies for their straightforward pop feel." He described the track as a "appealing single [...] bolstered by a seductively breathy vocal by disco-era diva Shannon", and also complimented its "pleasantly repetitive hook".[5] British magazine Music Week gave the song four out of five, adding, "More classy, uplifting garage from Todd The God featuring big vocals by Shannon. Not as massive as "Somethin' Going On", but pretty large by any measure."[6] Also Chris Finan from the RM Dance Update rated "It's Over Love" four out of five.[7]
