Flicker

"This is a promising and well-pitched effort that suggests Horan knows exactly who he wants to be as an artist. `Flicker' definitely gets his post-One Direction career off to a bright start".

"Flicker's main currency is post-Ed Sheeran acoustic balladry, of varying degrees of quality ... None of it is terribly exciting, but in fairness, setting the listener's pulse racing with the head-spinning shock of the new clearly wasn't the intention here. And it would be churlish to argue that swaths of it are anything other than well-crafted - you can easily imagine virtually all of it ending up exactly where it wants to be, punctuating rounds of Ken Bruce's PopMaster and cropping up between the dedications on Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs".

"One Directioners will no doubt relish every moment of Flicker, but for casual fans potentially wary of the boy band stigma, they can rest assured knowing that Horan has taken a big first step into musical maturity, with his own voice and deep well of emotion".
