In 2013, the original version of "You Don't Have to Worry" placed 20th on Complex magazine's "50 Best R&B Songs That Flipped Rap Beats", while its remix version with Craig Mack ranked 33rd on the list.[1]
The accompanying music video for "You Don't Have to Worry" was directed by American film director, film producer, and music video director F. Gary Gray and filmed at various locations in New York City in the summer of 1993. It depicts Blige performing in a jersey with a New York Yankees cap, baggy jeans and Timberland boots, also wearing an all denim suit by Daniel Poole performing on top of a car in front of a large crowd (a still from the video appears on the cover of 'What's the 411 Remix' Album). The song's original version, which appears in the video, has a slightly alternate difference towards the one on the soundtrack: Blige's vocals throughout the song is multitracked, and the backing vocals are omitted.
