Reception
Michael Major from BroadwayWorld hailed the song as an "international banger meant to eclipse genre lines and borders", continuing how each artist on it "[blesses] the track with a signature flavor, uniting for an undeniable summer anthem that's as hot as it gets". Jack Spilsbury from We Rave You stated that the song is a "feel-good tune that is destined to take over the radio waves this summer", noting its "beautifully produced featuring nostalgia-inducing backbeats and throwback lyricism" and praising how "will.i.am and Shakira see their vocals perfectly harmonise throughout". Hannah Dailey from Yahoo! News outlined the song as "a feel good, space-themed summer anthem". El Fiesta proclaimed that the song has "quickly become a definitive anthem for 2022 and the immortal Black Eyed Peas catalog". Karina Andrade from Rádio Mix FM reflected how "the song has very positive and happy lyrics, and a more electronic and danceable feel". Mario Caridad Sánchez from SpaceFM depicted how Shakira is "once again conquering the hearts of her fans with a groovy electropop song".

FrontView Magazine described how the DJs from Mars and David Guetta remix of "Don't You Worry" is "an out-and-out club destroyer" "packed to the hilt with stuttering, shuddering basslines and arrogant synth stabs that saunter across the single’s thundering rhythm sections". They encapsulated the Mark Ursa and Dubdogz remix as "an absolute juggernaut of a remix" with "rumbling, tumbling depth drops in one direction and light, almost hopeful FX in the other".

Music video
The music video for "Don't You Worry", directed by Director X, was released alongside the song in 17 June 2022. It features the three rap stars from the Black Eyed Peas, will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo, portraying aliens who visit Shakira’s home planet in peace, and Shakira takes the lead in welcoming and communicating through gestures with the new extraterrestrial visitors, and eventually transforming into an alien herself. A version of the video for the Farruko remix debuted on 2 September, with him being featured on it.
