    El mejor álbum de Katy Perry de toda su carrera incluso me atrevo a decir que es mucho mejor que Witness y eso que a ese disco lo considero una joya. Las canciones que están conformadas son realmente unos bobp's de lo genial que se escuchan. No sé dejen engañar con la crítica, no vale nada

    Smile's album takes you to a peace of mind that you thought you'd lost, you thought you ended your happiness, with your emotional stability but no and shows it to you in such a special way, this album is a work of art and Elizabeth, you did it

    This album is magical and perfect for the current moment, it would only be even better if there was no pandemic so we could dance at parties, but why not dance at home ?! Katy overcame everything and this is the best record of her career. An objective and clear album is not about being 100% happy, it is about overcoming and learning to live.

    one of katy’s best albums if not her best
    Katy perry’s ‘Smile’ is all we’ve been asking for. It kinda feels like a time machine, taking us back to some of her greatest hits
    Smile , is in general, a mix of all Katy’s albums together

    Smile is Katy Perry’s best album. It has surprisingly beaten Teenage Dream and Prism, and it deserves to be recognized as one of the best works of 2020 (if not THE best).

    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).
