[edit] Critical reception
Billboard magazine called the single a "weak song," though predicted it would do well commercially nonetheless.[1] The magazine criticized the immaturity of the song's lyrics and said the production was subpar.[1]
[edit] Music video
The music video for "Don't Be Stupid" was shot in New York City, and directed by Larry Jordan. It was filmed on October 18 and 19, 1997 and debuted on November 12, 1997. The video is set on a stage that is covered in water and Twain is accompanied by backup dancers following the Riverdance craze of the time and children playing fiddles. By the end of the video the sprinklers come on and everyone including Twain gets soaked. "Don't Be Stupid" won the Video of the Year award at the 1998 Canadian Country Music Awards.[2] Two versions of the video exist, one with the 'Original Album Version', and one released to Europe in 2000 of the 'Dance Mix Single'. The original video is available on Twain's DVD The Platinum Collection. The latter is available via iTunes and also can be seen on YouTube.
