    She still bringing us her happiness even in her darkness moment. What about being professional and make real critics as a real critic? They are making comparisons between other artists and they are not taking serious the work that Perry made. Smile is a real journey between accepting yourself and finding the things that really make us happy and stronger. But the truth about this website isShe still bringing us her happiness even in her darkness moment. What about being professional and make real critics as a real critic? They are making comparisons between other artists and they are not taking serious the work that Perry made. Smile is a real journey between accepting yourself and finding the things that really make us happy and stronger. But the truth about this website is that they are putting their subjective opinions here, and saying that she is not doing her job as Gaga or Swift. All we know is that Katy is always real to herself and don't need the approval. Some of her best boops in this record, she really made it.… Expand

    This album may just be Katy’s most mature and fun album of all. It comprises of catchy songs that just makes you want to dance wherever you are such as Tucked and Teary Eyes and songs that get you in your feels such as Only Love and What Makes a Women.

    É um dos melhores álbum que a Katy já fez, a crítica de revista não gosta da Katy e por birra darão nota baixa. más a crítica de revista não coloca música no topo então fod*se. dou 10 por um álbum que tem cry about it later e NTEOTW merece

    O álbum tem músicas boas de fato, porém sua divulgação inicial acabou pecando, lançando singles fracos enquanto as melhores musicas ( Cry about it later & Teary Eyes ) presentes no álbum estavam apenas preenchendo lugar no álbum.

    Impecável! Do começo ao fim... Never Really Over abre o álbum da melhor forma possível e What Makes a Woman encerra essa jornada de 37 minutos da forma mais comovente possível. E **** a critic

    Um dos melhores (ou o melhor) álbum do ano. Simplesmente impecável, nenhuma música ruim, todas com uma letra forte, melodia cativante. Simplesmente incrível, melhor trabalho da Katy Perry desde o PRISM.

    Incredibly excited about "Smile". It is a combination of all the best in the Katy Perry's universe. Not The End Of The World is a smash hit candidate. The sound and lyrics of this track are impeccable.

    Personally, I loved Daisies, Never really over, and not the end of the world, but the rest of the album relied too heavily on cheesy lyrics and witness era beats, instead of pushing for something new like she did with Daisies. Honestly kind of disappointed with this album, as I had hoped that we would get an album with songs more similar to Daisies.

    Without having to have another pop album, she does it again, the bad thing is her fans who are always throwing hatred and makes the artist look bad that badly they continue like this with childishness, they are rightly clowns.

    Katy Perry is 10 years in this music industry, time after time she has proven she doesn’t make albums, she makes PLAYLISTS of random songs. Smile is her latest artistic failure. Don’t waste your time on this album, I cannot get back my 1 hour time I had wasted on this trash

    It is remarkable how Katy Perry has been making better music and lyrics over the years. I know that "specialized critics" did not like very much but I feel they have not know about Katy's career, it is not her best album but it definitely a distraction of the horrible current reality.

    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).
