"Caroline" is a song from American alternative rock band Concrete Blonde, which was released in 1990 as the third single from their third studio album Bloodletting.

[3] Mike Boehm, writing for the Los Angeles Times, described "Caroline" as "a mysterious, gorgeously evocative song that recalls Fleetwood Mac's 'Rhiannon'.

"[4] In a review of Bloodletting', Marc D. Allan of The Indianapolis Star wrote, "'Caroline' is a good example of the band's strengths.

Napolitano's lush vocals, combined with Mankey's eerie guitar, create a subtle but powerful piece of pop.

"[5] In a retrospective review, Ned Raggett of AllMusic described the song's lyrics as "addressing a departed friend".
