Heechul's fracture of the femur from a car accident on August 10, 2006 and April 19 car accident prevented Don't Don from being released until September 20, 2007. The group performed their first performance for the album on September 21, 2007 promoting the title track "Don't Don" at KBS's Music Bank. It was their first performance in which the group performed together as thirteen after a whole year.
Within the first three days of release, offline album sales passed the 11,000 mark, debuting as number one, and in close competition with Lee Soo Young's new release. Don't Don finished the September monthly album sales as number one, surpassing Lee Soo Young's and Wheesung's albums. 60,000 units were shipped by the first week of release and additional copies were reprinted.[18] After three months of release, Don't Don sold 164,058 copies, making it Super Junior's best selling album. It was also the second best-selling album of 2007, falling 26,940 copies short of SG Wannabe's The Sentimental Chord.
"Don't Don" rose quickly in music charts a week after release. "Don't Don" won its first recognition, the SBS Inkigayo Mutizen Song, on October 21, 2007 and later on M.NET's M!Countdown, sharing the number one song of the week along with "Everyday" by V.O.S in November.
Unlike previous single "U", "Don't Don" was promoted only for a short time. Super Junior quickly moved to their second single, the R&B ballad "Marry U", a new version of which appeared in the repackaged version of Don't Don. The music video became available for download on November 13, 2007.
