    Es un muy muy buen almbun, cada canción es perfecta y las letras ufff, me encantan
    Superó mucho mis espectativas y es perfecto para escuchar para cuando no te sientes bien pero de igual forma para bailar y escuchar en todo momento
    De igual forma creo que es el mejor álbum que nos ha dado Katy, se nota su creatividad y esfuerzo en cada segundo de cada canción y es totalmente arte Sin

    Sin dudarlo puedo decir que es mi álbum favorito ya que no hay ni una sola canción que no me guste
    Las canciones dicen Katy por todos lados, es ella siendo ella pero mucho más madura, superando a la Katy de años atras, es como a inicios de primavera, hay sol y puedes salir a divertirte pero de vez en cuando hace un poco de frío y puedes quedarte en casa con un chocolate
    No es lo mismo que nos ha traído anteriormente, apesar de que como dije se nota su presencia, es totalmente diferente
    Execelente álbum que ni siquiera puedo describir que tan perfecto es y que tan bien me siento escuchando esta joya.
    Espero lo mejor para esta reyna

    Her best album
    the only problem i've got with its that its to short
    It’s time to allow Katy Perry to be exactly who she wants to be, and stop trying to force her to be a version of her old self or an unattainable figure of what people expect her to be.

Essa não é a velha Katy Perry, é uma Katy Perry mais madura, que concebeu a arte enquanto tentava se curar de uma depressão, que venceu a depressão e canta sobre querer de volta seu sorriso. É lindo como antes de Daisies temos um álbum menos denso mas ainda sim poético, e depois de Daisies temos o álbum mais profundo realmente com esse gol de autoajuda pop, harleys in Hawaii pode ser um oásis nesse deserto das reflexões, mas depois dele retomamos com mais força ainda a cura de nossas feridas, whats makes a woman é uma linda reflexão do que é ser mulher ♥️ Expand

    Luego del tropiezo con Witness las espectativas no eran nada favorables sin embargo Perry nos demuestra que sin duda después de la tormenta viene la calma -o un huracán de 'Smile'-. Si hay algo que ella puede hacer es música pop y lo demuestra una vez más. Magnífico y coherente. ¡Excelente trabajo Katy!

    Great album it was a 9.5 yesterday. The swiftie base got made it had a better rating that folklore so they wanted to sabotage this score. It’s fine it just shows the scum that is the Taylor swift fan base. I mean they threaten to kill critics who give her albums low scores. It’s crazy that Taylor hasn’t come out and told her base to stop doing that.

    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).
