    Este álbum es realmente bueno en todo sentido, se muestra la madurez y cambio que ha tenido Katy a lo largo de su carrera, es un album bastante profundo que solo algunas personas saben apreciar. Gracias Katy por hacer este trabajo tan maravilloso y uno de los mejores que tienes.

    I don't understand what happend with people who says this album is the worst. I listened to this album 5 times today and I can say that this album is the best of 2020. You can dance with the songs and sing them all day. The best pop album in 2020. She did a great job with this album. I can say this album is a new "Teenage Dream" in this decade.

    O álbum é dançante, intenso e sobre tudo íntimo. Katy narra os elementos importantes para sua recuperação pós depressão e soa para nós ouvintes como uma vitória ou renascimento. O ouvinte pode facilmente se identificar com as letras, mas o que eleva o álbum ao status citado nas primeiras linhas é a reflexão que ele sugere. Quando nós não estamos no controle? O que nós resgatará da escuridão? Nossa família? amores? Sonhos? Nós mesmos? Ou será que é o fim?. Esses questionamentos dão espaço ao que Katy Perry quer realmente passar a suas testemunhas: seja Dançando com suas lágrimas ou esquecendo os problemas com champanhe saiba que não é o fim. Entenda que está tudo bem não está bem o tempo todo ou precisar da ajuda de remédios e continue buscando motivos para sorrir todos os dias.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Album of the year! A very cohesive album from Ms. Perry that reflects her life from three years ago until now. Very triumphant sound with big bass lines, it will make you travel bel back to 80s inspired disco, 90s Eurodance, 00s trap! Album highlight for me is Only Love, a sentimental track which talks talks about if only you ha 12 day left to live. It is so personal yet so rekatable at a listener level. Kudos to Katy Perry on this album. Critics may say otherwise, but it is the voice of the masses that truly matter.… Expand

    Smile is full of dancing and inspiring songs that are so important for us these days. Every song of the album could be a #1 hit cause all the songs are awesome, I can't choose my favorite one! Katy did a GREAT job

    Without fleeting moments of bad taste, Perry does indeed sound mature, but she's also not quite as fun. That's a conscious choice, though. Smile is intended to evoke memories of her frivolous younger days while pointing toward a sustainable pop future.

    While Perry finds the occasional moment of quality here (Smile and Tucked both feel like the best possible music we could get from Katy Perry in 2020), Smile is an album searching for an identity—and when it fails, it falls back on lazy writing.

    Like Joanne before Chromatica, Smile plays like a necessary centering exercise, indulging her insecurities and less surefire instincts. If Witness was overdetermined, Smile is an earnest exhale, for better or for worse. It delivers an image of her journey towards inner peace that is honest (if corny) and catchy (if not exactly inventive).
