《分飛燕》嘅風格，仍然有好重粵曲成份。曲本身就係傳統粵曲小調。詞嘅題才，亦係粵調常見個種歌女嘆分離。歌詞係文言為主，但冇用「哥、妹、君、卿」呢類咁晦暗嘅代語詞。用詞反而相當白話。冇套用典故，但亦冇用廣東話口語。用時代曲常用嘅西樂伴奏編曲；兩個歌手，亦唔係唱開大戲，係時代曲底。發行之後，好受歡迎。所以有人話，《分飛燕》係第一次香港人唱嘅廣東歌，嚮香港受各階層皆歡迎，擺脫當時粵語曲地位低過國語曲嘅想法。呢首歌，係70年代粵語流行曲響香港開始大放異彩嘅先聲。
The style of "Fen Feiyan" still has a strong Cantonese opera component. The song itself is a traditional Cantonese opera minor. The lyrics are talented, or the common Cantonese tunes are separated by a variety of singers. The lyrics are mainly written in Chinese, but they do not use obscure pronouns such as "brother, sister, gentleman, and qing". The wording is rather vernacular. There are no allusions, but there is no colloquial Cantonese either. The two singers are not singing a big opera, but are the bottom of the era song. After its release, it was very popular. Therefore, some people say that "Fen Feiyan" is the first Cantonese song criticized by Hong Kong people, and it is welcomed by all classes in Hong Kong, getting rid of the idea that Cantonese music has a lower status than Chinese music at that time. This song is the precursor to the Cantopop songs that began to shine in Hong Kong in the 70s.
