    Katy in this album shows some very fresh sounds with very beautiful lyrics where she tries to leave a message, her tracklist was very well thought out since it tells a story from the beginning to the end. Congratulations Katy Perry

    A bop, skipless, serotonin injected album that speaks about hope, resiliency and love. Katy Perry was true to the album name as it will give you a SMILE especially to those who have been in the dark lately.

    the fact that all of the critics reviews are not about the songs, but of the personal life of katy, as well as her old albums, means a lot. this is pop perfection. it's sad that they keep hating on her, because she really doesn't deserve all this hate. I LOVE THIS WOMAN WITH MY WHOLE HEART OMG ❤

    Everything about this album makes it Katys best. From the top #15 hit Never Really Over as the opener to the laid back country-esque closing track. Not to mention all the dancy empowering tracks in between. With the current events going on in the world, Katy gives us 37 minutes of relief and dancing with Smile.

    It’s definitely one of the best albums released this year and is one of her best, if not the best in her discography. People who hate on this are usually edge lonely teens with no lives, you can’t taking their criticism seriously. This is a phenomenal attempt from a phenomenal artist, well done Katy Perry!

    It was brilliant to watch his personal and musical evolution since "Witness". "Cry About It Later", "Tucked" and "Champagne Poblems" are totally the highlights of the album.
    Katy goes back in time, but in a totally mature and beautiful way.
    One of the little mistakes on this album is the fact that it is so short, and with each song that ends we want more and more. Congratulations Perry.    … Expand

    Better than Prism, I would give an easy 8/10 note, during the whole album only 2 songs don't fit much, with everything like other tracks it has a very well structured passage, it is cohesive and brings a much more mature and reflective Katy, she tries to show that she has gone through ruined moments and that now she can breathe because she has done her best.

    At the present moment it is all that we need to hear and that we are living. The album brings the 80's and 90's sounds like on the track Cry About Later and Champgne Problems (the guitar resembles the band Pink Floyd), Tucked (remembers a Europop, Kyle Minougue style), but I would say the pop's highlight is to rescue all this "old" influence in a subtle way, that is, it is an album almost on the same level as the teen dream, as songs will not grow old as they are nostalgic and timeless. It builds something solid and beautiful with sonoridases of not so relevant songs from Teenage Dream and One Of the Boys, leaving only to be desired in the Smile track that could easily be replaced by the bonus track High On Your Supply and Not the end of the world that runs away a little bit of the Album's sound context.

    I’m honestly very impressed. She delivered great pop songs with good lyrics and staying true to herself at the same time she was staying true to her own sound, wich, my opinion, she made it evolve. My favorite songs on the album are Cry About It Later, Not the End of the World and Never Really Over.

These lyrics may come from Perry's personal battles with the underperformance of her last album Witness (Which in my opinion is a great and misunderstood album). not only that but Perry also managed to deliver party anthems to celebrate those battles, with Smile, the title track, Champagne Problems and Tucked which all have 80s disco influence that might be perfect in the rise of those sound and genre. After all of the fun, here comes the love story. She started with the romantic Harleys In Hawaii that depicts her love story with beau Orlando Bloom followed with Only Love, a great song with a great message, telling people to leave all the hate and focus with taking the love only. She later finished the album strong with What Makes A Woman, a strong ballad for women and motherhood that beautifies the struggle of what does make to understand a woman. overall this album is a solid one and probably one of her greatest. I don't know why my fellow critics are giving it low score when this album has depth and cohesion.… Expand

    THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM OF 2020. IT EMPOWERS WOMEN. THE ALBUM SHOWS RESILIENCE AND LIGHT. I JUST HOPE PEOPLE SEE THAT. KATY PERRY IS AN ICON AND SHE DOESNT NEED TO PROVE ANYTHING. THE SONGS WERE MADE FROM A HEART AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY IT CAN PULL YOUR EARS TO LISTEN. ALL SONGS ARE BOP AND EARGASM ♥️ I CANT BELIEVE HOW CRITICS WHO DONT EVEN PLAY A SINGLE KATY PERRY SONG GAVE HER LOWTHIS IS THE BEST ALBUM OF 2020. IT EMPOWERS WOMEN.

    This álbum is a BOP
    “CRY ABOUT IT LATER” is the biggest on the album, it is worth mentioning the quality of "champagne problem" and "not the end of the world".

    Lyrically beautiful, the songs are so positive and upbeat. I feel very happy and instantly in a good mood while hearing the songs. It is Katy's best album, after Teenage Dream. Teary Eyes & Not the End of the World are single worthy with great production. This album is a masterpiece that deserves good critics. Katy has worked very hard on this album. Im happy for her :)

    This album saved my life, I don't care if the critics aren't being the best, but this album is impeccable, it's beautiful how Katy uses her platform to help and bring a smile to people, I'm happy that she's an artist that doesn't care about criticism and charts, so it's one of the best, the album is genuine!

    This is the 5th album by Katy Perry and it is told to be about her getting her Smile Back. The album is perfec pop, entirelly made of hits and we shoul all be listening abd talking about it. I just don't get how the official rating is so low.

    What a greatness & hopefuless album. Katy Perry reborn like a Pheonix and came back with a lot of positive song. When you listen to Smile you only want to dance and became a new version of yourself. It's really heaven.

    Smile is the album of the year for me. The disco bops are very catchy and danceable. Her vocal always amazes me. Thank you Katy for saving 2020.

    This is Katy’s best album. She knows how to make a pop record and this is pop perfection from start to finish. Standouts to me on first couple listens are Cry About It Later, Not The End of the World, Teary Eyes and Tucked... but honestly every song is amazing!!

    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).
