    Personally I think it is a good comeback for Katy Perry, this is one of her best albums, it has a lot of potential and I really liked all the songs that this album presents, although at first I did not feel very convinced of what it was going to be about. the album, in the end I was surprised with the result and I'm very happy with that.

    Si la crítica buscara evaluar la lírica de cada composición de este álbum, quizás su predisposición a repudiar un álbum tan bueno hubiese sido enterrada. El mensaje que nos deja Katy en este álbum es asombroso, espero que personas que hayan pasado por una situación de tristeza que estén en busca de su sonrisa simplemente lo tomen como guía.

    Katy has given us a JEWEL where she lets us know how she managed to overcome her depression and regain her beautiful smile and that is the message she wants to give her, she does not care about criticism and all that only underestimates things. I who love Katy and I am her faithful Katycat since 2010 I was very satisfied and impressed with this work for me, the album of the year does not say more

    Katy Perry did a great job calling this album “ Smile “. This album contain a lot of sweet songs and it deserves more recognition and us as katycats we should support more her music because she’s giving us art and she deserves the world. Katy been through a lot and it’s time to see her SMILE again.

    O álbum “Smile” traz uma sensação diferente, desde a primeira vez que se escuta é como se fosse automaticamente transportando a um lugar seguro que lhe traz felicidade, com bastante influências de Deep-House e grande homenagem às músicas dançantes, tem letras importantes, e considero ele um fechamento de capítulo na vida da artista, algumas letras inclusive trazem referências ao sucessoO álbum “Smile” traz uma sensação diferente, desde a primeira vez que se escuta é como se fosse automaticamente transportando a um lugar seguro que lhe traz felicidade, com bastante influências de Deep-House e grande homenagem às músicas dançantes, tem letras importantes, e considero ele um fechamento de capítulo na vida da artista, algumas letras inclusive trazem referências ao sucesso “Teenage Dream” e feito totalmente de forma despretensiosa para simplesmente fazer com que a pessoa que esta escutando sorria, é disso que estamos precisando agora. Não foi bem aceito pela crítica especializada (grande surpresa) por ser considerado despretensioso demais e “soar como algo já feito”, a questão que fica é: todo álbum Pop precisa ser realmente revolucionário? O que aconteceu com a ideia de simplesmente fazer música boa e não esperar nada mais do que isso?
    Não é preciso ser aclamado para ser grande e o que a Katy propõe aqui é esse olhar sobre sua carreira, fizeram ela fazer papel de palhaça em acreditar que ela precisava mudar para ser considerada artista de verdade e tudo o que ela conseguiu foi entrar em desarmonia consigo mesma.
    Chega ser um pecado alguém falar que esse disco é ruim, até porque muito artista entregou trabalho esse ano com a pegada retrô de pop chiclete, e de alguma forma somente a Katy é repetitiva e está promovendo algo em desacordo com a situação atual do mundo? Nós precisamos de músicas despretensiosas que simplesmente trazem alegria, estamos num momento complicado devido à pandemia e a Katy Perry conseguiu entregar um álbum coeso do incio ao fim, com letras poderosas que demonstram o quanto ela amadureceu como artista e o quanto está disposta a continuar seguindo fazendo música pra quem se interessa por seu trabalho e não julga seu trabalho pelo seu perfil, mas sim pelo seu talento, ela deixa claro que não liga para as críticas porque sabe que fazendo o que ama ela vai estar de acordo consigo mesma, e se flopar? Bem, talvez ela chore depois, mas essa noite ela vai mesmo é se divertir!    … Expand

    Well how would I describe Katy Perry in a word or two? 'Pop perfection'!
    She said in her interviews that the new album would sonically sound similar to her past ones and there are times when it does. It reminds us of Old Katy but it also has hints of uniqueness and freshness like never before! The songs can all be singles. They are bops and disco hits that are well written and produced!

Katy's vocals are amazing as always! They resonate hope, happiness, strength, optimism, light and that is all that the world needs rn! She was pregnant and she was still serving us with visuals and vocals...That sir is a real queen right there! Idc about reviews from critics! It's very easy to criticize someone's work and be mean and spread negativity and get paid for it! Unlike you guys, Katy doesn't just warm the seats....She's a real performer and she delivered! Critics are calling the new album a "mortal sin" and that "people don't go to Katy for deep" and that's she's "playing it safe"... Well y'all trashed her bad when she actually reinvented herself with Witness and now that when she's sticking with what she does best, it's still not good enough? Smh The songs turned out the way they are cause they were intended that way. The artist has a different vision while writing songs, the situation they are in rn or have been through clearly reflect in the lyrics they write and not everyone is supposed to get that. Everyone gives a new turn, a new meaning to the lyrics which is okay but you can't disregard or talk trash about it not knowing what it actually stands for! The critics have always been mean towards Katy and that just shows how the music industry works! They choose a bunch of talentless mean idiots to spread hatred about every good thing or effort made by any artist. The only critique these crictics need to give criticism to is their lack of judgement and understanding cause that's trash af! Enough about these idiots!! I just wanna say, "Smile" is a **** bop and it deserves to be appreciated and streamed and nominated for awards and stuff. Please Stream the album cause Katy has worked really hard! I'm so proud of her and so proud to be a KatyCat....I hope and pray that she gets all the happiness and success in the world cause she's worthy of it!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every track is amazing, singles and non-singles. The message is what you would expect from a Katy Perry album: self-empowering and reflective. My favourite tracks are: Never Really Over, Teary Eyes, Resilient, What Makes a Woman and High on Your Supply. The production is fantastic and the sound is versatile and also reminiscent of her past work, with some of the tracks reminding me of disco. The lyrics are soulful and tell a cohesive story that might resonate with yours. She finally detached herself from wanting to chart at all costs and has started focusing on her craft. She's creating for her fans, and we appreciate her. Rock On, Katy!… Expand

    O álbum é justamente tudo aquilo que Katy sempre nos trouxe, músicas coesas, com uma sonoridade marcante e única que somente ela sabe fazer além de trazer uma mensagem de superação e esperança diante das dificuldades da vida. Cumpriu o que prometeu e trouxe de volta meu sorriso

    Antes de escrever uma critica é importante também entender de onde Katy tira inspiração para entregar um álbum assim. A cantora entrega um pop dançante com rítmos e batidas juntamente de letras fortes, retomando à sua jornada após os ocorridos de 2017, a sonoridade é impecável, e mesmo que familiar, entrega um ótimo trabalho.

    This album is a very healing album, and I’m glad to see Katy in a much better place than she was before. Most don’t understand Katy’s intent was to simply make music for herself rather than others. I’m disappointed in the critics because this album is actually really good. Katy deserves more after Witness ♥️

    I simply adore this album, I don’t see how people can be so vicious when it comes to female pop artists, you can like chromatica and smile at the same time, It doesn’t have to be a competition

    Amazing personal and fun album , she put some great lyrics on it, its also a great dancing album.

    Just the album that we need from her and of course at times like this. She's proven herself in the industry and this album just simply accentuates her artistry.

    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).
