"Crazy Love" is a song by American 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.
Craig Lytle from AllMusic described the song as "a midtempo number with an alluring chorus melody enhanced by a brisk string arrangement."[2] 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."[3] Randy Clark from Cashbox said it's "a sexy, easy groovin', mid-tempo dance track with almost as many lives as a cat".[4]
