    Este álbum me ha salvado completamente de estos momentos tan difíciles por los que estamos atravesando; sin duda una mezcla perfecta de ritmos que lo convierten en un álbum completo y fresco.
    Vale la pena escuchar y comprender el mensaje de cada canción ya que todas y cada una de ellas tienen un mensaje positivo.
    Un álbum muy maduro pero a la vez muy fresco.

    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.

    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).
