Reception
Double J named it in the top fifty Australian songs of the 1990s, saying, "Charming as its melody and sentiment were, the thought of something as punkish and vital as ‘Don't Go Now' sitting in the number one spot on the charts is beyond belief. It's got the basics of a perfect pop tune; Only difference is, this one has a bitchin' fuzz solo in the middle of it."[2]
Charts
On Australia's ARIA Singles Chart, "Don't Go Now" debuted at No. 8 and peaked at No. 1 six weeks later, spending 13 weeks in the top 50.[3]
