    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album gives you a positive approach in all the songs Katy finally found her smile and wants you to do the same, each song gives you a message to be strong and not give up in this life and most importantly be happy
    smile gives you all that and more, the sounds are more mature like the lyrics which makes the album a delight and not so heavy

    Katy brings the best out of herself in her vulnerable words & transparency. This album shows a very soft side of Katy where she just wants to going with a genuine Smile & nonetheless nothing but pure love. 10/10

    I think critics underestimated this album. Katy isn't critic favorite artist. Many people think Katy's music is childish or immature. Maybe. Bur this is her style.

    Definitivamente entregou o melhor álbum do ano para quem gosta de música pop! O álbum termina quando poderia estar começando, todas as faixas trazem a verdadeira essência de Katy Perry, não que ela tenha deixado de lado no "Witness", mas temos no "Smile" muita verdade e coerência.
    Os pontos altos do álbum são "Teary Eyes", "Cry About it Later" e "Resilient".

    This album was a disappointment. I didn't have high hopes for Katy and her music, but I did think it would be better than this. She has the budget for the best writers and producers in the world but this album still sounds dated, clunky, and tacky. Hopefully the next one is better but after this and Witness, I doubt the quality of Katy's music is on anything but a downward spiraling trajectory.

    O tanto que a Katy Perry serviu nesse álbum... Descreveu tudo o que estava sentindo esses últimos anos e foi perspicaz. A crítica sempre vai esculachar a Katy independente se ela servir ou não porque eles têm raiva dela. Smile é um álbum impecável e com toda certeza vai me trazer mais felicidade no meu dia a dia

    There’s so much hate being spread against Katy. People say Katy doesn’t have hits anymore, but her music is good to listen to. If another singer had released the same album people would have said “this is the album of the year”. At least, Katy is living one of the best moments of her life. ♥️

    Sem dúvida Katy Perry soube como entregar um álbum perfeito. Com faixas poderosas e perfeitas, ela nos mostra mais uma vez que pode ser considerada uma das artistas mais poderosas da música atual. Como o nome do álbum propriamente diz - Smile (sorriso) - ela soube fazer seus fãs e o público sorrirem e recuperou seu próprio sorriso.

Smile brings back the nostalgia of pop chewing gum from the 2000s pop, contrary to the eighteenth footprint of several singers, Katy takes you to the 90s in Tucked that will surely make you dance a lot, and we cannot forget the wonderful trap footprint of Not The End Of The World.

    Katy Perry did what she promised she would do: an album full of bops. Not only she found her smile embracing herself, as the popstar she is but is also finally releasing the music she wants unapologetically. Smile is a delight from start to finish - even Harleys In Hawaii, that on a first listen feels out of place on the album, ends up fitting the feel-good narrative.

    Katy Perry is the Queen of Pop and everyone knows it. Always delivering all your materials with quality and dedication. Undoubtedly the artist who produced in this Quarantine caused by Covid-19. SMILE is a cry from Perry who overcame the Depression caused by the media and poor acceptance in the Witness Era.

Undoubtedly the artist who produced in this Quarantine caused by Covid-19. SMILE is a cry from Perry who overcame the Depression caused by the media and poor acceptance in the Witness Era. A cohesive album - the most cohesive of the career - Katy's vocal, which fits perfectly in the tracks, gains notoriety. The lyrics of the songs are inspiring and the arrangements are like a pure intense orgasm in the ear. No doubt that "Cry About It Later", "Resilient", "Not The End Of The World", "Never Really Over" and "Tucked" are the most powerful on the album. Anyway, Katy Perry will always do everything with quality, and some say that she is nothing, that is all the envy of the California girl.… Expand

    She made a great comeback. With this album she tells the journey of her rediscover of smiling. Instead the critics, she drops a very cohesive and truthful work. She deserves success in this new journey with the album and the baby. Katy Perry, you really surprise me making an album that in the same time brings back all of my favorite things about you and show me new facet of your musical work.

    "Smile" is fun and at the same time is deep. It's the crossover of a mature Katy after "Witness" with the innocent Perry of "Prism" and "Teenage Dream". "Teary Eyes", "Tucked" and "Harleys in Hawaii" are the masterpiece of the album and the proof that Katy still can give us a true bop.

    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).
