    I was not really looking forward to this album when first taste "As It Was" dropped. In my opinion this one was a disappointment compared to his previous work on fine line. Luckily, the album in its entirety was a huge relief. With at least 6 songs being more clever and memorable than it's hugely succesfull single, this album is going to do huge numbers.

With at least 6 songs being more clever and memorable than it's hugely succesfull single, this album is going to do huge numbers. Songs like "Late Night Driving", "Grapejuice" and "Mathilda" are a delightful smooth listen. The production is gorgeous, the instrumentation is tasteful and the lyrics are not too bad. The choices made creatively could have been bolder in almost every aspect, but this way it is pleasant and inoffensive for most audiences. A solid 7 for Harry's House… Expand

    the album is lower than mid.Did not liked the ed sheeran runs and those phoebe bridgers-like voice modulations doesn't fit right with his voice.The mixing is total mess.Props to the producers cause production carries all of the time.He should hire better songwriters cause the songwriting is bad same as last two albums.vocals are just not there for me.He should put some more focus in creating an album than promoting it.That's why i'm giving it a 3

    Simple and full of beautiful and complex details, song after song, the discovery is magical.
    Some musics can bring the smell of summer and joy, if that is not magic ...
    Great, great album.

    Album for you to listen to from beginning to end, here there is no exaggeration of songs and each one of them sounds unique. With a more intimate style, Harry establishes himself once and for all as the most audacious solo singer of this new generation.

    A fantastic album where Harry Styles comfortably glides through multiple genres of pop, funk, rock, and folk! It has such a cohesive sound overall; however, the songs all bring something different to the table. It's clever storytelling but never at the expense of the sound which is often quite experimental here.

It has such a cohesive sound overall; however, the songs all bring something different to the table. It's clever storytelling but never at the expense of the sound which is often quite experimental here. If one cares to dive deep enough, the lyrics actually convey the uncertainty, despair, and loneliness beneath all the grand confessions of love and reminiscence -- something that we have all somewhat experienced throughout the pandemic. This record makes it abundantly clear that Harry does make his best music when he manages to have fun during the creative process. His vocals have never sounded better and the production throughout the album is simply top-notch. Harry's House really has songs that cater to all my different moods, whether I want to groove in my kitchen to Sushi and Daydreaming or cry my eyes out in the middle of the night to Matilda and Little Freak! The album really makes me feel at home. Can't wait to hear it live!… Expand

    As a big fan of his first album “Harry Styles,” this album just falls so short for me. “Harry Styles” had basically hit after hit and is an album I’d buy on vinyl I loved it so much.

    Honestly this album is so different from his previous two, but in the best way possible. It’s personal and new and amazing and I can’t find the proper words to describe it. I love this new sound for him, I’m glad he finally found home and was comfortable enough to make this album, not for the public, not for his fans, but for him.

    Great melody, very cohesive, and pure art just like everything Harry touch. Amazing debut with As it was bringing the synth pop vibe on this album, and also highlights as late night talking and satellite(a little sad but ok, that’s interesting) that brings joy to this experience.

    Harry is one of the greatest name in pop music, so it's obvious that his new album going to have a excellent production. Not a bad work, but boring. The real thing is the pop music sounds like a compilation with music who was done before. If you want good new pop music, get away from US and UK artists.

    After fine line I was very excited about his next move and he didn’t dissappoint me one bit.

Every track offers something new, different yet so familiar. This is definetly an album you would love and just sing along on a road trip and wouldn’t bore you at all.… Expand

    Despite the hype, of which there has been an extraordinary amount, it is merely a mediocre additional to Harry's Styles CV The vocals are uninspired and the songs self-indulgent and tedious. I have no idea what people are hearing, but it's bordering on the delusional

    the album is different than his last album and i think it's really good because you don't want to hear the same thing again and again and again, the trumpets, bells, guitar, keyboard, every instrumentals is played perfectly. music for a sushi restaurant is really good and no doubt Harry Styles would be an artist of the century sooner or later. cinema is insanely beautiful, all of his songs have a touch of 1980s music which makes it even more better than the pop-trash nowadays, definitely a 10/10 album, trigger warning for Matilda tho, that sh*t will make you cry.    … Expand

    Ultimately, Harry's House doesn’t really go anywhere or do much of anything at all. It breezes by with songs that seemed designed for the festival circuit and that are interesting and experimental enough that they’ll fit with Harry’s aesthetic without being too alienating for radio, almost as if he and his team couldn’t decide which was more important to them, so they went with neither.

    Harry's House is what happens when Styles steps out of the spotlight to live his life. And despite the fact that there's nothing as immortal as "Watermelon Sugar" to be found, this album, as a whole, has solid bones and is sturdy enough to last.

    On an album that, through its title, implies intimacy and solitude, Styles shows there are no four walls that can contain him.
