Fans may be lured to Brooks & Dunn's fifth album by the title track, a "tri-et" featuring the duo performing with their pal Reba McEntire. But there's much more here to hold the listener's attention, starting with the very first track. "How Long Gone" is an instantly hummable song with a great melody and Ronnie Dunn's winning vocals. Dunn turns in several terrific vocal performances, especially on the duo's version of Roger Miller's "Husbands & Wives," an eloquent meditation on the reasons why marriages fail. Brooks takes the lead on barn-burning numbers like the hyperactive "Your Love Don't Take A Backseat to Nothing" and "Way Gone," a jumping song that makes you want to hit the floor at the nearest Texas dancehall and boogie all night. Overall, IF YOU SEE HER features plenty of what fans have come to expect from the most successful duo in country music history--high energy, solid material, Dunn's soulful voice, and what Brooks calls "the redneck fun factor."

Entertainment Weekly (6/5/98, p.81) - "...[a] surprisingly muscular, diverse clutch of songs..." - Rating: B+

One of the most successful duos in country music history, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn were put together in the early 1990s by former Arista Nashville label boss Tim DuBois, who thought the two singer-songwriters' styles would complement each other. The duo's sound--a mix of country harmonies, pop, rock and honky-tonk--made them superstars in the '90s, where they dominated the Vocal Duo category at every awards show. After two decades of success, both with the critics and on the charts, the duo broke up in 2009.
