Critical reception

Billboard editor Larry Flick called the song a "smooth jeep slow jam [...] "Don’t Say" has alaid-back sing-along chorus that firmly supports Jon's fluid vocal. Kids will also dig the quietly bumpin’ beat, which deftly straddles the line between pop accessibility and street purity." [6]

Music video

A music video for "Don't Say" was directed by Kevin Bray and features Sanaa Lathan as Jon B.'s love interest. [7] [8]
