    This album really reminds me of Teenage Dream. It has great storytelling and presents very coherent songs. Except for the song Smile, I find all songs very pleasant. Every song is a hit... Cry About It Later, Teary Eyes, Not The End Of The World, Champagne Problems and Tucked, they all should be single. Well done, Katy! I hope you don't forget them as you forgot Legendary Lovers and Roulette.

    Smile describes the ecstasy of leaving behind the past and focus on a self-experienced journey to find happiness and forget about what has been hurting us. The vindication of Katy Perry.

    No necesita ser Gaga, Taylor ni Ariana, ella hace historia con lo que es y a comparación de otras personas, toma la iniciativa de invitar a los demás a ser ellos mismos por medio de su música.

    Katy Perry's SMILE is what many fans were waiting for. Although many people think Katy is bringing more of the same with this record, she showed with "Witness" that she is able to create something more mature and deep. Smile conveys fresh vibes and that's what Katy is best at. Fortunately, Katy has got her smile back and she doesn't need anybody's approval now.

Con solo escuchar las primeras canciones uno puede transportarse a otra dimensión y olvidar todos sus problemas, eso es algo que caracteriza mucho a la intérprete, lanzar canciones que ayudan a sobrepasar esos problemas que tiene uno como adolescentes, pero no solo ellos pueden ser ayudados con su música, sino todo el mundo que la escucha, un claro ejemplo es la canción cry about latter, dando a entender que debemos dejar todo atrás y llorar por eso después.

Para mi era imposible que Katy perry superará Teenage Dream, y este álbum me ha hecho darme cuenta que es el mejor álbum de Katy Perry hasta ahora. Ritmos increíbles y pegadizos, letras hermosas, Katy siempre ha tenido el talento de transmitir emociones y hacerte querer bailar y al mismo tiempo tener una letra increíble. Las críticas de este álbum no tienen lógica, no les hagan caso a las negativas, solo son de criticos que desearon ser artistas y no pudieron y tienen que conformarse con pensar que saben de música y escribir sobre eso, les gusta lo que esta de “moda” entonces ellos no son importantes como para tomarlos en cuenta. TD también tuvo criticas malas y fue el álbum que hizo que Katy Perry igualará un record de Michael Jackson, Prism fue #1 y también tuvo malas críticas al igual que Witness que fue #1. Entonces los criticos no valen la pena, ellos no importan. ESTE ÁLBUM ES HERMOSO, NO TIENE UNA CANCIÓN QUE SALTES, TODO ES INCREÍBLE. El mensaje de Katy en Only Love es hermoso, ritmos de cry about it later, champagne problems son incomparables. Sin duda Katy Perry demuestra una vez más que es LA REINA DEL POP. Expand

    The album is full of amazing, uplifting songs that tell a rather personal story for Katy, with which we can all relate in some level.

    Opening the album with a therapeutic boop, Katy Perry brings us one of the best albums released in 2020 and overall. Despite not having released the best tracks as singles with music video, Katy uses that choice as the main concept of the album, where it leads us to recover our smile.

    Tracks like Cry About It Later and Teary Eyes they completely take us back to the eras of the 2000s.

    Tracks like Cry About It Later and Teary Eyes they completely take us back to the eras of the 2000s. Champagne Problems and Tucked transport us back to their hit era Teenage Dream with Witness influences.

    And to close the album, he leaves us a moment of family reflection with Only Love, and a perfect ending with What Makes a Woman, with folk influences, sounding like an end to this album, but a start for KP6.

    This piece of art is a journey from diagnosis to therapy and finally recovery, in the most sanguine of ways. The subtle oxymoronic lyrics and song production at some points are a reminder for us to not take anything at face value, just like a smile could be fake. We defer the crying from an ex-string attached, just to find us dancing with teary eyes in the next.

We defer the crying from an ex-string attached, just to find us dancing with teary eyes in the next. We go through exuberant resilience followed by a triumphant anthem, Smile, after which we find new ways to experience love and question how it came to be. It is a masterful record with euro-influenced dance-pop and a crispy tinch of Katy Perry pop. 10 out of 10. Expand

    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).
