Critical reception
Chuck Taylor from Billboard described the song as a "luscious power ballad", and noted further that "it's hard to imagine a better combination of mature voices than that on this tantalizing song about needing to spend every minute with the one you love". He also added that "thanks to silken production from [Richard] Marx and David Foster, this one ranks up there with classics like "Comin' In And Out Of Your Life" and "Woman In Love"".[3] Drogheda Independent commented, "The it Vince Gill meets the technical precision of Barbra Streisand. Magic. Two singers from very different genres come together for the duet of the year." They noted that "this is a beautiful love song that gets better the more you play it."[4] People Magazine stated in their review of A Love Like Ours, that songs like "If You Ever Leave Me" "stand out simply because they don't drip with sentimentality and because Streisand allows a bit of blues to creep into her vocals."[5]
"If You Ever Leave Me" was released to country radio and peaked at #62 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks.[6] On December 5, 1999, it became the third most played video on CMT.[7] It also peaked at #26 in the UK.[8]
