    Showcases a wide range of sonic styles that can feel messy at times, but still manages to be cohesive in themes.

    Fine Line will easily become one of my Top 5 albums of all time. The musicianship along with pouring his heart out has you feeling all emotions. Listening to the songs in order takes you on an emotional ride from bliss to sadness to happiness to hopefulness. Styles I believe hasn't even hit his peak yet! I find myself listening on repeat hearing something different each time. SometimesFine Line will easily become one of my Top 5 albums of all time.

Styles I believe hasn't even hit his peak yet! I find myself listening on repeat hearing something different each time. Sometimes rewinding because I wasn't appreciating a certain part enough. His videos have really enhanced the songs Lights Up and Adore You. His talent is evident. His heart and hard work makes him a great human as well as a True Artist!… Expand

    Incredible body of work telling a story of love found, love lost, and growth as a person as a result. A plethora of instruments & lush sounds to fill the mind with imagery. Styles’ vocals, musicianship, & lyrics show personal growth where his voice as a lyricist and as a vocalist take center stage.

    While his debut self-titled LP was a pleasing collection of beautiful odes to soft rock and britpop, Harry Styles' second effort sounds like its altered, upgraded, better-crafted, grown sister. "Fine Line" is so well arranged, ranging in style and in sounds, but still being so aesthetically cohesive. It kinda, sorta, tells a story, not a new one, from being in love ('Golden', 'Adore You')While his debut self-titled LP was a pleasing collection of beautiful odes to soft rock and britpop, Harry Styles' second effort sounds like its altered, upgraded, better-crafted, grown sister. "Fine Line" is so well arranged, ranging in style and in sounds, but still being so aesthetically cohesive. It kinda, sorta, tells a story, not a new one, from being in love ('Golden', 'Adore You') to being heartbroken ('Cherry', 'Falling'), to the getting over ('Sunflower, Vol. 6', 'Canyon Moon') and peace-finding ('Fine Line'), but it sure tells it with great music playing in the background.

    The whole project exudes personal energy, like really confessional lyrics ('Falling' is literally an entry from Styles' diary) or just real-life recordings (Camille Rowe's voice as the ending of 'Cherry' is such a moving addition to the already beautiful track). Another impressive thing is the variation in sounds and styles, going from rock on 'She', to ukulele-based alternative on 'To Be So Lonely', to Vampire Weekend-esque indie sounds on 'Sunflower'. It all plays out so well, coming to the beautiful closer, which happens to be the title track, on which Styles asserts repeatedly "We'll be alright", such a basic, but exquisite-in-its-hope line.

    Both aesthetically and musically pleasing, "Fine Line" is a step (or a leap) in the right direction for Harry Styles' career.    … 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.
