==Critical reception== Writing for ''Idolator'', Mike Wass opined that Goulding "asserts her independence" on the track, "telling Mr. Clingy to stop sniffing around her business because she's bus[y] having fun [...] over Ilya's thunderous beats", concluding that it is a "banger".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.idolator.com/7908014/ellie-goulding-asserts-her-independence-on-worry-about-me-blackbear|title=Ellie Goulding Asserts Her Independence On "Worry About Me"|website=Idolator|last=Wass|first=Mike|date=13 March 2020|access-date=13 March 2020|archive-date=15 May 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200515172701/https://www.idolator.com/7908014/ellie-goulding-asserts-her-independence-on-worry-about-me-blackbear|url-status=dead}}</ref> Caian Nunes of ''Popline'' wrote that Goulding finds "great inspiration in hip-hop" on the track "without losing her pop [sound]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://portalpopline.com.br/escute-worry-about-me-novo-single-de-ellie-goulding-em-parceria-com-blackbear/|title=Escute "Worry About Me", novo single de Ellie Goulding em parceria com Blackbear|website=Popline|last=Nunes|first=Caian|date=13 March 2020|access-date=13 March 2020}}</ref>
