Brooks and Dunn are showing an even deeper side to their music--more emotion, more passion, and hard to believe, but even more energy. This wild roller-coaster ride pushes the boundaries of what has become acceptable in country music, blending simple Southern rock with country's lyrical themes, and is held together by Kix's crunching guitar. The duo runs through their familiar mix of upbeat boogies ("How Long Gone") and emotional ballads ("I Can't Get Over You") plus their Reba-shared hit "If You See Him/If You See Her." Though their changes are subtle, they are noticeable. --Paula Ghergia

 Yet another classic album November 14, 2006
Peter Durward Harris (Leicester England)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
With the outstanding title track (a duet with Reba McEntire) and four other major country hits (How long gone, I can't get over you, South of Santa Fe and Husbands and wives), this was another huge success in the careers of Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn.
Most of the songs here are originals, though Husbands and wives (one of the hits) is a cover of a Roger Miller song from the sixties, which was covered by the Everly Brothers on one of their country albums, Pass the chicken and listen. I wouldn't have envisaged it as a Brooks and Dunn song, but their performance is superb and it deserved to be a hit all over again.
The album is wonderful mix of ballads and rocking country songs, with Ronnie singing lead on most songs. Kix sings lead on South of Santa Fe (one of the hits) and Way gone, both of which he co-wrote.
Brand new whiskey, one of the rocking songs, is my favorite among the tracks not released as singles, but Born and raised in black and white, Your love don't take a backseat to nothing. Way gone, When love dies and You're my angel are all great too.
All the hits can be found on their second volume of greatest hits so if you are only interested in hits, you may be content to buy that and ignore this - but if you want to go beyond the hits, this album is definitely wotrth listening to.
WOW! DOES IT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS? January 28, 2000

One word describes Brooks & Dunn's album "If You See Her" : WOW! I mean, does country music get any better than this? I don't think so. I own three of their older albums, but "If You See Her" is the best of the bunch. The best songs on the album are South of Santa Fe, Born and Raised in Black And White, and If You See Him/If You See Her. The rest of the songs are spectacular also. Yes, it's true that Ronnie has the stronger voice of the two, but Kix is also a very talented singer and his voice is just rights for slower songs, such as South of Santa Fe. I enjoy hearing them sing together. I recommend this album to any country music fan. You won't be disappointed.

A great album, even if you aren't a country music fan December 19, 1998

I had heard about this album when it came out back in June, and I had listened to a sound clip of the duet with Reba. Loved it, and decided I had to have the CD. In addition to "If You See Him/If You See Her," which is such a beautiful song, other standout songs are "How Long Gone," "Brand New Whiskey," "Born & Raised in Black & White," and "Husbands and Wives." I never really considered myself a country music fan, and this is the first country music album that I have tried (except for Shania Twain's "Come On Over," which is really a pop/country crossover album). This is an impressive album that has really turned me into a country music fan and I will try other Brooks & Dunn albums soon. Excellent job!
 Pale Face of the Southwest Desert March 17, 2005
Christopher S. Loucks (Colorado Front Range)

The American Southwest. What kind of music would be conjured from this great desert, one with a history of country-shaping battles, landscape-scarring weather, and a desert pseudo-documented so blithely in Hollywood's earliest Westerns from the beginning of the 20th century? Why, country-shaped, landscape-scarred, and at times blithely played-guitar music, that's what!
If You See Her offers the listener a whole smorgasbord of emotions, ranging from the upbeat, albeit downtrodden, How Long Gone -- a fantastic way to begin an album -- to the forlorn, but possibly encouraging title track. These two songs are about the two-faces of relationships and convey it wonderfully.
So where does the desert come in? By far the best tracks here are the cryptic South of Santa Fe -- I imagine a ghost town that only a drifter would know of its whereabouts...and he runs into his past love, still alive -- and Born and Raised in Black and White -- about two brothers with different destinies. This song brings tears to my eyes sometimes.
The art direction here is very good, reminiscent of the old West. But what stands out in my eyes is Ron Modra's photography. The duo in black standing on the red rocks of canyonlands and rivers is fantastic. The photographer met Ronnie Dunn at a baseball game, leading to a short stint photographing other country singers.
While this album is well recorded and utilizes dozens of guitar textures, the selection of songs is only limited by the onslaught of the five somewhat depressing she-left-me tracks. With a run-time of only 40 minutes, I would've hoped for a few more old West anthems from these guys. Their future albums, while possessing songs more complex in composition, sort of drift from this "wild west" country style.
