Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, writing that "Eldredge builds the tension in the room without relying on overly dramatic instrumentation or animated imagery. His story is believable, but still detailed enough to fill in gaps in color and personality. The melody leads to a great hook in a chorus that never verges on gimmicky." [3] Kyle Ward of Roughstock gave the song a favorable review, saying that "The soul influences are a new direction for Eldredge, but he nails them with a charming and seductive vocal in the style of James Otto." [4]
"Don't Ya" debuted at number 58 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and number 46 on the Hot Country Songs chart for the week of October 27, 2012.

In Canada, the track debuted at number 90 on the Canadian Hot 100 for the week of August 3, 2013. [11] Three weeks later, it reached number 51 on the week of August 24, remaining on the chart for thirteen weeks. [8] On October 10, "Don't Ya" was certified Gold by Music Canada. [12]
