I love "All Over Again". Touchingly simple, which is what Chris does best. I think of it as Chris's thematic counterpart to "Goodbye Baby" and "Say Goodbye", but IMO it's a much better song than those two.

"Sooner or Later" is almost great, but goes on far too long.

"I Do" has some nice parts, but only when Chris is singing. The transitions and bridge are awful.

"Hollywood" has the same problem of tiresome repetition, plus its harmonies are surprisingly bland and soul-less. These are production issues, so no disrespect to Chris.

As I posted elsewhere, I find the lyrics to "Nights in Estoril" to be among Chris's worst ever. I'm not crazy about the melody either, so it gets my vote.
