The album deviates from Wei's usual style, offering listeners more of a laid-back, psychedelic sound, rather than the folk-pop ballads familiar to his fans. The theme of the album revolves around alcohol, partying, sex and heartbreak.[2]
I'm More Sober When I'm Drunk received generally favourable reviews from music critics, most of whom praised Wei's songwriting and artistic maturity even though it is his first English album. Upon release, the lead single 'R.I.P.' topped the Western Single Chart on KKBOX.[3] The album is also named one of the Top 10 best albums in 2021 by Hit FM, making it historically the first English album to receive this award.[4]
