Good Times peaked at No. 52 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

Critical reception
Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. of AllMusic says, "Robison isn't a mainstream country singer, but seems like he's playing country music because it's part of who he is and how he thinks, not because a friend loaned him a George Jones album in college."

Hank Kalet of PopMatters rates this album a 7 and writes, "Throughout, there is an ominous shadow cast that makes the good times seem a desperate attempt to keep away the blues. There is sadness and there are good times and they mingle, inform each other, change each other."

Christopher Gray of The Austin Chronicle gives the album 4 stars and says, "Good Times is darker and mellower than 2001's Life of the Party, but only because there's no song told by a brawling Irishman."
