    A wonderful album from beginning to end. The lyrics on the album match a lot of what Katy went through during her depression, and after she got better. The melodies are excellent and dancing. Thank you and good luck Katy!

    This album is amazing. She opens the album with something as perfect as Never Really Over, and ends with something as empowering as What Makes a Woman. Simply powerful.

    You've done it again Katy Perry! This album perfectly conforms to the sounds of pop, electro and midtemppo. You can see mainly how it is made up of love, and a very important background in your life! Really impressed. Congratulations Katy
    El álbum es muy bueno y merece tener el reconocimiento debido, este es el pop que a la música le falta desde 2016.

    While, overall, this isn't as offensive bad as her previous "effort", Witness, it also doesn't have the interesting highs that album had --Roulette, Tsunami, DejaVu, Bon Appetit. So what you end up with is a collection of mediocre (not terrible, just very mediocre) songs that add nothing to anything, much less to Katy Perry's artistic merit.

So what you end up with is a collection of mediocre (not terrible, just very mediocre) songs that add nothing to anything, much less to Katy Perry's artistic merit.

    If you put Katy's discography from Teenage Dream to this album on shuffle, you won't be able to pinpoint what album is each song from. They all sound the same. There is no artistic growth at all. Lyrically, she remains using the same cliches and predictable phrases you'll find on cheap inspirational Instagram accounts.

    The saddest part of this album isn't that you have to bash it for being terrible, while trying to be something. That was the case for Witness, which despite being terrible, had something going for it. She TRIED to do something with that. She failed, because she obviously didn't have it in her to pull it off, but there was effort there. The saddest part of this album is that it clearly shows that she doesn't even try anymore. It says more about her as an "artist" than about the album itself.

    At the end, it isn't good, it isn't bad, it's not anything. It's just there.

    I would say that the only offensively bad thing here is that album cover. Jesus.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Each song on the album has a particular purpose, to make you smile. This is a great pop-disco-electro album. Why? Because as Miss Perry mentioned, this would have combinations of its previous eras, as' Resilient 'recalls an experimental and risky' Witness', or as' Cry About It Later 'returns us to a pop-rock of the' One of the Boys', we can also mention the sensuality of 'Never Really Over' tying a disco touch with 'PRISM' and we must not forget the sweet and adolescent stage that 'Only Love' or 'Tucked' brings with 'Teenage Dream' . This is certainly a great album, with a hint of the old eras and re-incorporated sounds like 'What Makes a Woman' introducing a country song with electronic touches (an inspiration would be Kacey Musgraves with Oh, What a World). This album deserves rave reviews and a focus on the album, but not a focus on personal life and untimely comparison.… Expand

    Katy Perry is back with another album. Pregnant and in clown uniform. Everyone who knows me knows that I grew out of Katy's music when I was like 14. Her music went from being bops over bops for my 11 year old self to giving me ear cancer now. But I keep giving her music a chance. I should probably accept that I'm never gonna like it again.

But I keep giving her music a chance. I should probably accept that I'm never gonna like it again.

    We have 5 previously released songs on here. We have the generic "Never Really Over" that also could’ve been sung by Zara Larsson, the typical 2010 Katy kidz bop material with "Smile", "Daisies", a song that is supposed to be deep but the fact that it sounded dated on arrival takes away all the attention from its lyrics, "Harleys in Hawaii", which seems to be a fan favorite but to me it sounds like an Ariana Grande reject and the terribly boring "What Makes a Woman", which at least has decent lyrics.

    What else is left to unpack here? A lot of bland stuff ("Champagne Problems", "Resilient"), more dated stuff ("Tears Eyes"), I don’t know what "Tucked" was supposed to be and "Only Love" which sounds like something you've heard a million times before but at least it has good lyrics. Oh and with "Not the End of the World" we have another song that sounds like Ariana didn’t want it on "thank u, next". But that one is actually one of the better songs on the album. "Cry About It Later" has an interesting and different production in the verses but then its chorus comes on and ruins the whole thing. So all in all this is another 1/10 project from Katy for me. The album is pretty bland as it sounds either generic, boring or dated. Congrats on your baby Katy but this album was not it. If I had to pick favorites I would point out "Not the End of the World". That one justifies the 1 point in my opinion. Yeah.    … Expand

    AMAZING! A brilliant body of work, sonically cohesive. Pure pop fun, matured from her earlier works of Teenage Dream and Prism, however. Lyrically there is so much depth and a lot of important and powerful messages, especially at this time! Critics opinions are not professional and the subjectivity means nothing.

    It’s safe to say that for some reason, critics find always a way to discredit the work of a female passionate and honest and dedicated woman who spent her life trying to bring joy, sass and power though her songs. And side note that fact is often criticised stating it’s starting to get old to sing about self empowerment but last time I checked, sex is still selling in songs.

And side note that fact is often criticised stating it’s starting to get old to sing about self empowerment but last time I checked, sex is still selling in songs. In most of the reviews, it is mentioned that Katy is staying in her lane which for them is a bad thing but when she switched her artistic vision to create the amazing album witness, they were also dissatisfied. Let’s clarify one point the same reviewers who hate her can’t review her album (it’s common sense). Plus their opinions don’t matter because teenage dream did not get high scores in the past but today they’re using it as a reference ? Let me laugh. To conclude my point, the user score which is ver high btw illustrates how they resonate with the songs. Listen the music and enjoy the lyrics and dance and smile… Expand

    We know for the lyrics that this álbum had some deep means to her, in the songs shes approaches some personal stuf.

    The album is perfect, I looked for a bad song and I didn't find it, my favorite so far is Not the end of the world, I loved the rhythm of the song and everything, it's already # 1 in my house.

    This album is the perfect example of: concept, cohesion and quality, running away from any generic album, the Smile album presents authenticity! Most importantly, it connects with whoever listens and conveys your message. Who has never had to put a smile on their face to not show their pain and their problems to other people?

    Eu como amante de música pop posso dizer que é incrível a evolução musical de Katy Perry, mesmo depois de um dos momentos mais conturbados da sua vida, consegue dar a volta por cima e trazendo um pop cativante para o público mesmo enquanto o mundo passa por maus bocados.
    Conseguiu entregar um álbum que com certeza vale ser repetido várias vezes!

    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).
