Right off the bat, I must admit I'm an unabashed Reba fan. She could
sing the phone book and I'd rush out to buy the record. It isn't just her
voice and charm, but also her ability to pick terrific songs that allow her to
bring those skills to bear. However the best song on this album came to her. The title track, her duet with Ronnie Dunn of "Brooks & Dunn," has Grammy/Song of the Year written all over it. It came about because Terry McBride was traveling with "Brooks & Dunn," working on songs for their new album, when he heard Reba and Ronnie sing, and got the idea for what was to become "If You See Him/If You See Her." The hype surrounding this cut made me wary that this was just a lot of PR at work. My first listen to the cut disabused me of that notion. All you have to do is hear the song to know its one of those songs destined for instant hit status, whether the publicity mill was grinding or not.

Besides the duet, there are eleven other cuts on this album, several of
which are likely to become hits also. "One Honest Heart" is a typical Reba song, looking for love. Her producer, David Mallory, calls her the "Queen of the Victim Songs," and this one, along with "Lonely Alone," "I Wouldn't Know" and "Up And Flying" won't do anything to diminish that title. Her new duet with Linda Davis, "Face To Face,"  continues the story that began with "Does He Love You," and takes a surprising direction.

"Heart Hush" is about meeting an old flame, and the fire bursting forth
again inside, while trying to stay cool outside with little success. It seems
Reba is always standing by her man while he's always looking elsewhere.
Constantly a victim of the "grass is greener," I think these songs appeal so much because looking at Reba you can't understand how that's possible. She engenders tremendous feelings of sympathy, and a desire to comfort her when she sings these songs.

"Invisible" is the perfect expression of this pattern. First she is the only one for him, all others are invisible. But as time goes by, she is the one that becomes "invisible." Only in this case, she is determined to make him see her.

Two of the songs, "All This Time" and "Forever Love," will be featured
on her made for TV movie, "Forever Love," scheduled to air this fall on CBS. Both are tender love ballads, something that Reba doesn't do enough of.

One of the most upbeat songs on the album is "Wrong Night," a tale of
giving in to the moment in spite of her determination not to. Tongue in cheek plays on words make this song, along with "I'll Give You Something To Miss," a tease for your mind and libido.

Like a dozen eggs, the cuts on this album are fragile shells, that in some
cases peel away to reveal the hard-boiled interior, or shatter like Humpty
Dumpty, as she attempts to piece together her life. But in every case, they are grade "A."
