Critical reception
[edit]An uncredited Taste of Country review stated that "'Stone Cold Sober' is a songwriter's showcase that fans will need to dive into to fully appreciate. There's nothing hooky about the track, but one only needs to go as far as his last single — the chart-topping 'One Hell of an Amen' — to see this works for the just-married singer from Georgia."[2]
