Most notably, "Falling", "Cherry" and "To Be So Lonely" are emotive and melancholic, while showcasing gorgeous vocals and instrumentation. "Fine Line" is expressive and triumphant in its execution and is a fantastic way to cap off a sonic and lyrical journey through the giddiness of new love, the tragedy of love lost and the path to self-acceptance that Mr. Styles has invited his listeners on. Well done! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Album! A definite upgrade from his self titled debut album and a step in the right direction in his musical career. The album carries heavy influences from legends such as Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and Queen. Although taking inspiration, Styles does not try to copy his influencers, but rather, infuse their styles with his own. Expand

    Absolutely extraordinary and perfect in every way. There is not a single skip-able song. Fine Line, Golden, She and Cherry are my personal favorites.

    Fine Line is on repeat! Fantastic body of music that shows the inspired growth of Styles as a musician, singer, and lyricist! Tells a story of love and loss, and all of the ups and downs in between that affected the artist greatly. It’s a gift for your ears that keeps on giving.

    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.
