"I'm in the Mood" is a song by American singer and songwriter CeCe Peniston, released in December 1993 by A&M Records as the first commercial single from her second studio album, Thought 'Ya Knew (1994).

[3] Upon the release, Larry Flick from Billboard declared it as "a chipper, hiybound jack/pop tune that is rhythmically similar to her previous hit, "Keep On Walkin'".

[6] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Finally, CeCe is riding the radio charts again with a dance single which at first seems to lack that pop sparkle of her old song material.

[9] Tim Jeffery from the Record Mirror Dance Update wrote that Peniston "seems to have got that knack of combining impossibly catchy and uplifting songs with dancefloor appeal".

[10] Mark Frith from Smash Hits gave it four out of five, complimenting it as "another energic piano-laden number with her trademark wonderful vocals and one of those nagging basslines.
