    This album is so incredibly good. His vocals, the lyrics, the instruments and melodies. Everything just fits and makes it one amazing record. You can clearly hear he’s grown so much and he enjoyed making the record. I love it!

    One of the best albums on 2019. He did a magnificent job of stepping away from mainstream music and doing his own thing. Harry Styles is an artist not to be slept on, and he deserves all the praise thrown his way! Congrats Harry on your second number one album!! May your 2020 tour bring you much joy and even more success.

    This is one of the best albums of 2019. And it’s been out less than a month. Harry managed to produce one of the most eclectic, unique, gut wrenching, joyous albums I’ve ever had the privilege of listening to. It’s been a pleasure seeing him grow as an artist, watching him take more risks, and completely blow his first album out of the water (Self-titled is obviously still my baby though).This is one of the best albums of 2019.

    i'm giving this high scores based on an actual mixed feeling about this album. firstly, it's good, it really is. The vibe it creates during the first 4 songs are smooth, trendy, and with really good tune. I like Cherry a lot, not so much for Falling (i do enjoy it tho, it's like my guilty pleasure). She is definitely the best track in this album, even in his two albums.

She is definitely the best track in this album, even in his two albums. The last 4 tracks are more chill and cheerful, with the west coast indie pop vibe. Then there's Fine Line, the epic track with a vivid vision built up around it. Perfect for the closure. i mean i literally don't hate any of these 12 tracks. This album has it's flaws, this is with no doubt. But still, it's genuine and well written, well produced and his vocal has improved so much. Good work Harry, this is from a mid-aged music fan in love with Blur and other Britpop **** when she is younger. You could definitely do better in your next album.… Expand

    At times funky pop, folky rock, or classic ballad, there’s a song (or more) here for every mood, but somehow it all hangs together really well! A lot of the themes revolve around loneliness or break ups but it’s a very joyful album.

    THIS ALBUM IS THE BEST, A VERY PERFECT JUXTAPOSITION OF SO MANY GENRES. THUS ALBUM TELLS A STORY AND IT IS QUITE CLEAR. Through Harry's use of musical instruments, background music, harmonies, chorus etc he wanted to tell a story, he wanted us to feel what he felt while composing each song of this album. He has done it perfectly.

Fine Line is yet another chance Harry Styles has gotten to literally smack us in the face with art and i am very okay with it. The album portrays feelings of heartbreak, loneliness, and fear, but also happiness. love longing, and passion. There is not one track thT sounds like the next. Styles has created a new genre and we just got to witness it. Harry Styles's music can no longer be defined as a certain genre. it is simply Harry Styles.… Expand

I mean wow. Balls is what he has. Moving on to She. She is something. She is Woman’s older more badass sister. She was an absolute masterpiece. The icing on the cake was the guitar solo. I still have to replay because it’s just that GOOD. Wow. Moving on to the last song on the album, Fine Line. I don’t want to dive too deep into this song but all I can say is “we’ll be alright”. That’s a beautiful way to end such a heartfelt album. My god Mr. Styles. You’ve done it again. Thank you!… Expand

The songs Fine Line and Treat People With Kindness seem to be pretty underrated for how incredible they both are. TPWK is a completely different sound from anything Harry has ever made and the positivity and happiness of it is just too great. To Be So Lonely is also so unique, cute and heartbreaking all at once, and easily became my personal favourite of the album.

    Harry Styles is a true artist that has painted a canvas of love, loss, sex, sadness, and the simplicity and complexity of freedom laced bliss with his album “Fine Line”. He deserves the world.

    Absolutely GOLDEN in every way. This album has everything. Songs to dance to, cry to, or listen to on a long drive. Harry is a legend and this album is just the beginning.

    This album is a breath of fresh air. It’s something that is so different than anyone is putting out and it’s amazing to see such a beautiful album that is so deep and emotional.

    Listening to Fine Line was such a pleasant surprise. Definitely one of the best albums of the decade.
    It is best to listen it from first to the last song. Of these, Golden, Falling, She, To be so lonely, Canyon moon and Fine Line are the best songs for me. The title track Fine Line is timeless and will live on forever as one of the evergreen songs.

    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.
