"If You Ever Leave Me" is a vocal duet between American singers Barbra Streisand and Vince Gill.

"[3] Chuck Taylor from Billboard declared it as a "luscious power ballad", noting 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 felt that "thanks to silken production from Marx and David Foster, this one ranks up there with classics like 'Comin' In And Out Of Your Life' and 'Woman In Love'".

[4] An editor from Drogheda Independent commented, "The it Vince Gill meets the technical precision of Barbra Streisand.

"[5] 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.
