"Crazy Love" is a 1992 song by the musician CeCe Peniston, released on her debut album Finally on A&M Records. The title was first issued in the UK as the fourth single from the album, peaking at number forty-four, while in the US (released as her fifth solo single), it reached number thirty-one on the R&B chart in February 1993 after its peak at number ninety-seven on the Billboard Hot 100.

Critical reception[]

Craig Lytle from AllMusic described the song as "a midtempo number with an alluring chorus melody enhanced by a brisk string arrangement."[1] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Here's yet another gem from CeCe's sparkling, unstoppable debut album, "Finally". A sultry, swing beat is first refashioned with raw hip-hop beats, then transformed into a spirited house romp. All the while, CeCe belts with an assurance reminiscent of Teena Marie." He added that the right edit "could reignite pop and urban radio fires."[2] Randy Clark from Cashbox said it's "a sexy, easy groovin', mid-tempo dance track with almost as many lives as a cat".[3]
