Critical reception[]

A uncredited writer from Taste of Country gave the song a positive review, saying that "Swindell isn't the rangiest singer, but this song keeps it between the lines. Lyrically he's helped write another sharp guy-meets-girl country song. The bridge is particularly colorful, and it's reminiscent of his good friend Luke Bryan."[3] In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Let Me See Ya Girl" at number five on his top 10 list of Swindell's best songs.[4]

Music video[]

The music video was directed by Michael Monaco and premiered in June 2015.[5]
