Country Standard Time	(mixed)[2]

Jon Weisberger of Country Standard Time said the songs had "too many solid melodies and arrangements betrayed by awkward, uninspired lyrics."[2] Jana Pendragon of Allmusic rated the album two stars out of five, writing “As for depth beyond the heartbreaking kind, Stockton's songwriting shows an interesting bent on "Geronimo." As for foundation, it sounds as if Stockton knows where country music comes from, as he exhibits on "My Life's an Open Book," a pleasant waltz; "Billy Saw the Light" is just as good. Sadly, there are just too many other guys out there doing the very same thing.”[1]
