    She is back! And the outstanding album was worth the wait! It has many happy tracks about Katy getting her smile back, then also tracks about what she went through during the witness era. And she also put a reference to one of her older albums in one of the songs!

    Com certeza um dos melhores álbuns da carreira da Katy, se não o melhor. Ela conseguiu transmitir tudo que ela queria dizer utilizando uma sonoridade muito bem desenvolvida. Algumas músicas te fazem dançar e pular por todo lugar, outras trazem uma vibe trap arrepiante e outras são pra ouvir calminho no seu lugar. Simplesmente o Smile traz uma experiência completa.

This album is a **** masterpiece and I think this is Katy's best album for real. ALL THE SONGS ARE BOP AND WE ARE ALL HERE FOR IT.

    O melhor álbum da carreira de Katy Perry. Pode ser que as músicas não façam grande sucesso ou virem grandes hits. No entanto, nos mostram boas e maduras composições,em uma produção impecável. Superou muito o seu antecessor. Merece toda a atenção.
    Não existem músicas ruins e está tudo muito coeso. No fim,ficamos com uma sensação de queremos mais.

    She doesn't need validation from the critics anymore, and it shows on this album, where she finds herself more free than EVER. Sonically it's a good pop album full of upbeat songs to dance while crying. 10/10.

    "Smile" is fun and at the same time is deep. It's the crossover of a mature Katy after "Witness" with the innocent Perry of "Prism" and "Teenage Dream". "Teary Eyes", "Tucked" and "Harleys in Hawaii" are the masterpiece of the album and the proof that Katy still can give us a true bop.

    Non sono un fan di Katy Perry, conosco solo le sue hits del passato eppure questo album mi ha fatto innamorare al primo ascolto, e pensare che la stessa cose è successa per Dua Lipa con Future Nostalgia, che invece oggi mi ha deluso con quella sottospecie di remix. Speriamo la Perry possa tornare in cima alle classiche, magari con la giusta scelta di singoli e contenuti più validi.

And the topics that Katy talks they are really powerful because it's all about forget everything that it's wrong with the world and keep on dancing. Masterpice.

    Questo album è semplicemente un capolavoro pop.
    E voi "esperti" di Metacritic non siete e sarete mai pronti per questa conversazione.
    Katy si conferma la regina del pop anche in questo decennio! Go Katy!

    Sem dúvida Katy Perry soube como entregar um álbum perfeito. Com faixas poderosas e perfeitas, ela nos mostra mais uma vez que pode ser considerada uma das artistas mais poderosas da música atual. Como o nome do álbum propriamente diz - Smile (sorriso) - ela soube fazer seus fãs e o público sorrirem e recuperou seu próprio sorriso.

    Don't listen to the critics. Listen to this album to appreciate Katy Perry's artistry. This album is Katy's best album to date. Every song on the album deserves to be a single. So glad she got her SMILE back! And we fans are so happy for her!

    This album is bop after bop after bop! There are so many good dance tracks! Highlights for me are Champagne Problems, Tucked, Cry About It Later, Never Really Over, and Teary Eyes. Katy found her smile and so did her fans.

    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).
