    Luego del tropiezo con Witness las espectativas no eran nada favorables sin embargo Perry nos demuestra que sin duda después de la tormenta viene la calma -o un huracán de 'Smile'-. Si hay algo que ella puede hacer es música pop y lo demuestra una vez más. Magnífico y coherente. ¡Excelente trabajo Katy!

    This is Katy’s most bright and just technicolor feeling album. The sound is so different than anything we’ve ever heard from her; the 80’s influences are to die for. Tucked, Champagne Problems & Only Love reign superior. I’ll admit I was hoping we wouldn’t see any of the droplets on this album because I wanted more songs we katykats haven’t heard but here we are.

It is a very Katy album — catchy pop songs, reminding me of her older records. Some of the songs give me melancholy vibes while also making me feel happy and hopeful.

    Se que no es el mejor trabajo de Katy, las canciones son buena pero hay una que otra fácil de olvidar (caso de Harleys In Hawaii y What Makes A Woman) pero hay canciones que pueden ser todos unos hits (Cry About It Later, Tucked y Champagne Problems) con una buena promoción y apoyo de radios
    Siendo fan de Gaga por los últimos 10 años, de Taylor en los últimos 9 y Katy en los últimos 8.

    Katy Perry did a great job calling this album “ Smile “. This album contain a lot of sweet songs and it deserves more recognition and us as katycats we should support more her music because she’s giving us art and she deserves the world. Katy been through a lot and it’s time to see her SMILE again.

    It's predictable that people aren't connecting with this album but personally this is her best project. Few people would understand the thoughts, reasons, and the connections from each songs as they've been riding with the up's and down's of Katheryn. Just imagine all the hate that has been thrown and katy made an optimistic project for those who wanted it; this is the result ofIt's predictable that people aren't connecting with this album but personally this is her best project.

    I never felt myself identified at this level with a Katy Perry's álbum before. This is still a pop adictive material, but definitely with more soul and heart. Love IT

    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).
