Critical reception
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]

The song first debuted at No. 50 on Hot Country Songs on the release of the Just as I Am album in May 2015,[3] and No. 33 on Country Digital Songs chart, selling over 10,000 copies in its first week.[4] The song entered the Country Airplay chart at No. 58 for chart dated September 19, 2015 after it was released as a single.
