    Es lo mejor por que no trajo de regreso a su antigua versión, los críticos no saben nada, muchos votan en base a sus preferencias, este disco es perfecto para la pandemia ya que nos hará sonreír y bailar, una buena distracción de todo lo que está pasando.

    Smile is a great album, maybe the best one from Katy. Good lyrics, good beats, good production. A evolution of Katy Perry. Who dislike it it's not a pop music fan or just wanna throw some hate on the kind pop star she is. And we all know the critics will never recognize the talented and awesome singer that Katheryn has always been!!

    She didn't evolve very artistically on this album, but it's great to hear. Some songs are very repetitive, but as a whole it is a happy and unpretentious album. The highlights are in the songs: Harleys In The Hawai, Never Really Over, Daisies, Cry About It Latter and Tucked.

    Katy Perry you did it. This is the best album of the year, the best album of her career and I'm so proud of the message she delivered with it. She deserves all the love and support, not just because she's a mom now but for this incredible peace of work she gave us. Don't care about what the critics says, it's really amazing and they hate her for doing everything so perfect. That's it. Thank you so much Katy Perry, you're THE QUEEN.

    Nem daria pra chamar de álbum, na verdade Smile não passa de um amontoado de faixas que foram coladas e disfarçadas sobre um suposto conceito de "sad clown". Liricamente é uma vergonha, com frases vazias e rasas, entretanto já era esperado vindo de Katy Perry.

    The album has a division of moments in her life that we can all relate. The critics giving it less than 80/100 was completely corrupt and someone may have paid them. Makes no sense once this record brings so much joy and wisdom. Teary Eyes, Cry About it Later, Resilient & Tucked are incredible.

You literally having a SMILE on your face after hearing those 12 tracks without any skip in any song. The struggle of Katy in the past is what makes this album a perfection one. The way she executed the lines, vocals and every emotions that she puts in every single is beyond expectation . Katy Perry once said that "No Hate, Just Love" and that WHAT MAKES A WOMAN to her. It's like driving a car in the middle of the night with light atmosphere that gives meaningful in your journey, or riding a HARLEYS IN A HAWAII with those winds that comes from a breeze, fascinating. You can say that maybe this album is ONLY LOVE and not throwing any negative content, just pure love. You know the feeling of breaking down and not feeling okay with yourself but after you heard this album you can surely tell to yourself that maybe it is NOT THE END OF THE WORLD and we can CRY ABOUT IT LATER cause we are stronger than we thought. You can see your reflection with those TEARY EYES, the hardships, falling short and not measuring up, you can say that it is a really tough thing but who cares? ans who knows? Do not TUCKED your pass underneath your soul but let your past be part of who you are because trust me, it will make sense at the end. The background story of your CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS are just a headache in the past , the smell of every DAISIES are just like a fragrance to your present, and the building blocks that you will turn in the future soon will makes you RESILIENT.

    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).
