The track is co-written and produced by Dave Hall and charted at number twenty-nine on the US Billboard R&B chart. It also reached number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote that "Movin' On" "shows her finally fitting comfortably into the R&B sound that she has been cultivating over the past few years. Her booming voice now possesses the darker shades needed to hang tough in circles inhabited by such artists as Faith Evans and Mary J. Blige." Ha also noted that producer Dave "Jam" Hall contributes to Peniston's vocal confidence by placing her in "a sleek, funk-fortified musical context that complements her phrasing style quite well." Peter Miro from Cash Box stated that the song "kicks up a danceable groove that touches base with Peniston's solid club foundation, yet her emotive phrasing connects with a deeper soul reservoir this format merely hints at. Targeting new consumers, she's a firm fixture in the R&B camp henceforth. Guest artists G. Man and Suga T. flavor the best of the lot."
