"If You Ever Get Lonely" is a song written by Kyle Cook, Lisa Drew, Michael Dulaney, Steven Dale Jones and John Waite.
[2] Markus Papadatos of Digital Journal described the song favorably, saying that "is one of Love and Theft’s best singles that they have released in their career".
[3] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song one star out of five, stating that "Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson do little to put their individual marks on the story or production."
Dukes wrote that "vocally, Love and Theft spend so much time at their high end, one loses appreciation for it" and "an overripe guitar solo further brings one back to the early ’90s, a time not proudly remembered as bringing the best in pop ballads.
Filmed entirely in black-and-white, it features footage of the duo on their 2013 tour, as well as them performing the song both on stage, and in the empty audience stands.
