    A great name for the album, it fits really well, all the songs are like a roller coaster making you feel a lot of emotions from sadness to happiness, every single song inspires a light on our soul that we can't just understand, when you hear the album you end up crying but with a big smile.

A whole bop, from beginning to end it’s got all the right elements, I also think it’s time we re-evaluate who we actually listen to as far as critics go, I feel like all these old critics are holding on to an old style, and an old formula that is no longer main stream.… Expand

    A lot of people says the songs in here are just forgettable, maybe, they have Alzheimer's disease. There's no formula that's proven to make music a must-listen. Music depends on the work of the artist and to whom they dedicate it. Just like Camilla's words on her Havana music video, "if you don't like my story, go write your own!"

The way all of the songs are positive and it makes u feel good. The production is well done too and the lyrics are definitely heartfelt. An album does not need to be “deep” to be good.

    Álbum muy metodologíco en tanto al estilo particular de Katy Perry, tiene buenos puntos en Beats y otros buenos picos líricos, las canciones pueden llevar a ser enérgicas terminando con gran desempeño vocal pero carecen de concisión muchas sin puentes o saliendo del mensaje que trata de comunicar.

    Fuera de los ritmos si te detienes a meditar cada una de las letras, katy nos presenta un lado muy profundo y mucho más maduro sin embargo ella no pierde su toque sabe lo que hace entonces le agrega los ritmos pop que la destacan en Tennage dream pero mucho más poderosa. Este es su mejor obra pocos artistas llegan a este grado de profundidad con su arte.

    Arguably her best album to date, and she did it with just 12 songs. She took us to a journey from being pitted against the world up to getting your groove, smiling back, sending letters to parents and singing a lullaby to her daughter. Kudos!

    One of my favorite studio albums from Katy Perry! Even though the songs were written far before the pandemic began, there’s so many positive messages of hope and resilience sprinkled throughout this album. Absolutely beautiful and inspiring!

    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).
