    This is the best Album of this years, I can say it is the best record for Katy too, songs like Cry About it Later and Tucked are totally songs of this summer.

    Smile Is the best musical art work from Katy Perry, She's coming back with an old Katy's style with sounds and vibes of Prism and Teenage Dream but we can hear a new Katy Style that can make you dance with songs like Never Really Over or Cry About it Later, Her vocals are incredible on this Album, Katy worked so hard for 2 years in this Album and we can see it on the iconic visuals.

    Hannah Mylrea is a tasteless pig and should not work for @NME, same goes for Leah Greenblatt who works at @EW.
    @HannahMylrea & @Leahbats on twitter are both trash critics & stuck in the past. there’s
    no evolution, no growth just the same old boring key strokes. i’d suggest their employers seek out new tasteful ears as those hags aren’t generating anything but negativity and awful taste.

    A simply amazing comeback! This album is quintessentially catchy Katy Perry pop, the tracks are polished and have great arrangements. Lyrically it also does not disappoint. Tracks like "Not The End of The World" and "Only Love" bring exactly the message we all needed right now. It really brought Katy's smile back ( and mine too) for sure! Loved it!

    In this album Katy gave us an excellent journey to find our Smile back, the atmosphere it's about loving ourselves, even if we feel like it´s the end of the world, there´s always a way back. The sound it´s a beautifull evolving of Witness that makes it keep stuck in our heads. Loved it!

    O álbum é perfeito dentro do que ele se propõe. Katy Perry se mostra madura, remodelada, resiliente e dona de si. Misturando sentimentos entre tristeza e alegria, o álbum nos arranca sorrisos e surpreende muitas vezes. Destaque para Tucked, que é como um passeio pela confeitaria da Katy Perry, uma musica açucarada com um ar retrô que me remete a Katy Perrydo TD e OOTB.

    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).
