    Smile is perhaps his best work so far. Lyrically she did an impeccable job, she is vulnerable but strong at the same time, willing to outdo herself. Contains sounds that encourage you to dance with those teary eyes.

    Great piece of music, she’s telling her story, she’s explaining how she made it through the other side. The songs in the album are sorted to represent the phases she rub into. The first with sadness and tears, then how to heal from what hurt you and finally how to celebrate the journey. I’m really thankful (scratch that, I’m grateful) for this album!

    Sin comentarios en lo personal no me parece nada nuevo, todas las canciones son aburridas y los vídeos de los singles que ha sacado se me hacen básicos, aburridos y eso aún hace que la canción sea más aburrida. Es un álbum que no escuchare, y mucho menos compraría por qué sería gastar mi dinero en algo que no vale la pena.

    Each Katy Perry album is always highly anticipated and arouses the interest of the entire audience.
    In partial analysis, it is always easy to find reasons to accuse your albums of being purely commercial, but the truth is that this album, like its predecessors, represents an important fact for pop culture and is contextualized with our reality, treating themes with legitimate ones.

    Katy Perry brings a new point of view, focused on her personal life and feelings, without leaving aside the political theme. Some approaches are repetitive, redoing what she has already done in "Chained to the Rhythm". But his vocal interpretation doesn't sound so emotional. I highlight the songs "Never Really Over" and "Only Love" as favorites.

    Em seu quinto album, Perry trás seu melhor trabalho. Um álbum coeso, com músicas ótimas, excelente produção e letras. Finalmente voltaremos a sorrir!

    ¡Sin duda es un gran álbum! No entiendo cómo es que los críticos lo calificaron con tan baja puntuación.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After Witness, Perry said herself she was feeling lost (just like her One of the Boys' song), and we can see her journey to get back her smile on this album. Some songs like "Tucked" and "Smile" takes us back to a bit of her old sounds, but it still manages to be coehsive, innovative and fresh. Dare I say this IS her best album, although PRISM will always be unique. It's clearly seen here that she has grown a lot, and is still on this endless path to become her best self. Smile is fun, deep, joyful, peaceful, cheerful. Its peak was definetely "Cry About It Later", in which Katy takes advantage of electroguitars, gritty vocals, and an attitute to die for. Smile is her peak for now. 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).
