    I was really excited for this album, and i have to say that it does not disappoint! Harry delivers his most stunning, haunting at times, vocals to date. I had no idea how great this album was going to turn out. His experimentality and musical genius strikes even harder than his self-titled debut-album ever did.

His experimentality and musical genius strikes even harder than his self-titled debut-album ever did. Every song carries a message, and the message is delivered in a really powerful and different way in each individual track on the album. Harry takes his listeners on a trip through a tough breakup. I will be listening to this on repeat for months. Easily one of the best albums released this year. Highlights of the album: Golden, Cherry, Sunflower vol. 6, Fine Line.… Expand

    It's so different from the last one in the best way possible. I really love She and Fine line (to be honest, I can't choose)

    Amazing album. His debut was great as well but I feel he’s come a really long way with this one, lyrically and sonically as well.

    perfect just as harry styles himself. the sequence cherry-falling-to be so lonely-she should be on the louvre!

    Hands down my favourite release this year, not one song I would skip. Love the hints at 60s and 70s music but it’s still uniquely Harry. Amazing!!

    This album is art in every sense of the word, it is an expression of wonderful sounds and notes, where you let yourself be carried away by nostalgic songs like "Falling", you imagine an atmosphere of liberation with "Ligths Up", you travel to the future and radiate tranquility with "Canyon Moon", you have fun and imagine the summer with "Watermelon Sugar" and without a doubt the mostThis album is art in every sense of the word, it is an expression of wonderful sounds and notes, where you let yourself be carried away by nostalgic songs like "Falling", you imagine an atmosphere of liberation with "Ligths Up", you travel to the future and radiate tranquility with "Canyon Moon", you have fun and imagine the summer with "Watermelon Sugar" and without a doubt the most significant and favorite songs for me "Adore You", "Golden" and "Sunflower Vol. 6".

    definitely the most amazing piece of work harry styles has ever put out. the songs are cohesive and the lyrics are powerful. falling and fine line are the most emotional songs on the album, and are the only times i’ve ever cried from just a songs lyrics. the album is truly beautiful, harry succeeds in making the audience feel his pain, freedom, and ending acceptance through his music.definitely the most amazing piece of work harry styles has ever put out. the songs are cohesive and the lyrics are powerful. falling and fine line are the most emotional songs on the album, and are the only times i’ve ever cried from just a songs lyrics. the album is truly beautiful, harry succeeds in making the audience feel his pain, freedom, and ending acceptance through his music. can’t wait to hear more from him and where he takes this album while performing and on tour.… Expand

    Free of the shackles that hobbled his debut, Styles manages to show more of his personality here, especially on the Vampire Weekend-style Sunflower, Vol. 6. It's just a shame he can't quite keep up with his ambition. [Feb 2020, p.110]

    Fine Line is entirely inoffensive, but it’s also open-ended, and maybe those questions are the reward. Maybe Harry Styles just wants to keep us guessing.

    Fine Line proves that the musician has absorbed the best lesson passed down by California’s great musicians: Don’t be afraid to take chances within a folk- or pop-rock framework, as that’s how you create iconoclastic music that endures.
