Nicely critical - as if studio would be worried (10)
I believe the answer is:
fastidious
'nicely critical' is the definition.
'as if studio would be worried' is the wordplay.
'would be worried' indicates an anagram.
'as'+'if'+'studio'='asifstudio'
'asifstudio' is an anagram of 'FASTIDIOUS'.
(Other definitions for fastidious that I've seen before include "Meticulous" , "Attentive to detail" .)
