Critical reception
Alan Jones from Music Week commented, "The dance beat, the balearic guitar work, the Gregorian backing vocals — it has to be No Mercy's Where Do You Go, but it's not. It's their identikit follow-up Please Don't Go, which includes all the elements of their long-running debut hit bolted on to a tune which doesn't quite measure up."

Music video
The music video for "Please Don't Go" was directed by Hannes Rossacher and premiered in March 1997. It features the group in a recording studio recording the track. Rossacher also directed the video for "Where Do You Go".
