good reviews
Explanation:
I think "good reviews" collocates better, so that would be my suggestion. See the answers to the other question you posted too, since this is identical to part of the wording contained in that post.

I got almost 1.8 million hits when searching on "good reviews" and 17.200 on "fine reviews", so I guess my hunch was correct, at least when asking Google.

Example sentence(s):
  • Good reviews should let you know if something's worth buying, and why.
  • "I had published several books that had received good reviews, and I was earning my living enjoyably as a broadcaster on radio and television."

agree  Tara Chace: Yes! "Fine" can have a less positive connotation (i.e., the reviews were find, but not really that good)

favourable reviews


Explanation:
'Favourable' is an adjective which is often used in combination with 'review' in English. Just like 'fine' and 'anmeldelser' in Danish.
