 Clarkson's vocal performance and song's production received particular praise.Commercially, "Sober" failed to make an impact, charting at number 93 on "Billboard"s Pop 100 component chart, based on airplay on mainstream top 40 radio stations and digital downloads, and at number 10 on Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles.No accompanying music video was recorded for the song; however, Clarkson promoted it through several live appearances, including at Live Earth and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno".
