Summer Walker's Finally Over It arrives as a confident, often intimate coda that trades some of her earlier jagged specificity for polished nods to 90s and 2000s R&B. Across four professional reviews that yield a 70/100 consensus score, critics praise moments where Walker's blunt, confessional voice meets lush slow-jam production - and they point to specific standouts as the record's defining evidence.

Critics consistently flag guest-driven moments and solo catharses as the album's highlights. Reviews call out “Go Girl (with Latto & Doja Cat)” and “Robbed You (with Mariah the Scientist)” for their sharp chemistry and rhythmic bite, while “Stitch Me Up” and “Baller” emerge as emotionally direct high points praised for raw catharsis and anthem-ready energy. Several reviewers note Disc 1 as the stronger suite, with songs like “Scars”, “Heart Of A Woman” and “1-800 Heartbreak” doing the heavy emotional lifting and underscoring recurring themes of self-preservation, healing and transactional romance.

While some critics find the double-LP's polish occasionally smothers Walker's most distinctive impulses, the professional reviews agree the record succeeds when it balances confessional R&B with genre experimentation and female empowerment. The critical consensus suggests Finally Over It is worth the listen for those searching for the best songs on the project and for fans tracking Walker's trajectory from raw heartbreak to measured autonomy. Below, detailed reviews unpack where the album lands in her catalog and which tracks stand out most.

Critic's Take

Summer Walker arrives with Finally Over It trading her jagged specificity for polished 1990s slow jams, and the best songs prove she still commands the room - “Robbed You” and “Go Girl” stand out as the album's sharpest moments. Rawiya Kameir writes with amused impatience, noting that on “Robbed You” Walker's hook and chemistry with Mariah the Scientist revive the record's narrative bite, while on “Go Girl” her clipped self-appraisal finds natural rhythm with Latto. The record works best when Walker leans into the self-sabotaging, pistol-toting heroine of earlier records, which is why listeners asking for the best tracks on Finally Over It should start with those features. Overall, the double LP's polish sometimes smothers Walker's most distinctive impulses, but its highlights still make a persuasive case for her voice.

Key Points

  • The best song is "Robbed You" because Walker's hook and duet restore the record's narrative bite and chemistry.
  • The album's core strengths are its polished 90s R&B production and occasional sharp guest turns, though polish sometimes mutes Walker's distinctive specificity.

Critic's Take

Summer Walker arrives liberated on Finally Over It, and the best songs - notably “Stitch Me Up” and “Baller” - prove why this final chapter matters. The reviewer's voice stays candid and intimate, praising the raw catharsis of “Stitch Me Up” while celebrating the irrepressible energy of “Baller” as the album's girl-anthem payoff. Features get called out with bluntness - some drag tracks down, others land - but the record's emotional core and Walker's autonomy keep the best tracks resonant. Overall, these standouts make this instalment a satisfying close to a trilogy that maps messy love with aching specificity.

Key Points

  • ‘‘Stitch Me Up’ is the album’s most powerful ballad, its raw autobiographical cry provides the emotional heart of the trilogy.
  • The album’s core strengths are Walker’s confessional lyrics, emotional catharsis, and moments of female empowerment balanced against uneven features.

In short, the best songs on Finally Over It are those that let Walker lean into genre textures while keeping her mouthy, rueful persona in full effect.
