    Miss Perry you did that, best album of our life 10/10 queen. It’s like “Teenage dream” 2.0 mixed with “PRISM” and a little bit of “One of the boys” and “Witness”. Thanks queen my smile is back!

    Comparando com outras obras dela, essa foi a mais coesa. Todas as musicas servem bem seu propósito e por isso merece 10, ela trabalha para o público e não para críticos.

    I love this album and I can't stop listening to it. It has the typical Katy Perry sound, but it's also different from her other albums. I find it more mature. It's full of Fireworks and Roars, it's what we needed in this historic moment.

The 2nd half of the album starts with Not The End Of The World, a Dark-Horse-success-worthy song where Katy states she’s just gonna enjoy the ride, with its peaks and valleys. The album closes the journey with empowering songs, such as Resilient, Only Love and What Makes a Woman, where she says on the last line “There It is Katheryn”, referring to her SMILE. Fan favorites like Tucked and Cry About It Later will bring that only-Katy-Perry fun that we all crave, on a Sunday, riding a Harley(s) in Hawaii or while giving it all on the dance floor.… Expand

    SMILE is everything I needed to hear in one album, It´s the message of hope, resilience, and healing we could all use more of in 2020. I´ve been a witness to your incredible journey since 2012, but seeing you smile this bright has been my favorite part. Katy you nailed it as always!

    One of her best, she went to a sound that she made her signature sound. It is an album that takes you through her depression to the mind set she has now. It deserves so much more from "critics" than clearly show how biased they are too. The albums a flawless dance album and deserves so much success.

    There are NO skips on this record and it is just hit after hit after hit. As you can see, literally no one agrees with these critics because the user score is phenomonal.
    In my opinion, it is her best work since "Teenage Dream" and this feels like a more grown up version of that. Once again, 'critics' have lost all their credibility.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although critics did not smile at katy Perry's new album, which they use in a personal and sloppy way to criticize the work, note that their point of view falls more on their career than the work delivered by the singer. But speaking of Smile, I think the richness of pop is great, which Katy wanted to stay within her new job. This is not a negative point, it just escapes the trend that great artists are bringing lately. For a pop album, the songs clash in a simple and cheerful way, fun as katy always demonstrates.… Expand

    Hands down the best piece of work she ever released in her career. Starting off with a banger of Never Really Over, serving bops like Cry About It Later, Tucked, Not The End of The World, Harleys in Hawaii, Daisies, Only Love, and ending with a feminist anthem What Makes a Woman. Truly a perfect pop album.

    gente vim contar um testemunho, a meses venho estado triste e sem vontade de estar alegre e feliz. Ontem quando dei play no álbum simplesmente abri um sorriso e tudo mudou, eu abri o álbum e tive um êxtase, maior do que o da cocaína. E eu disse “essa... essa aquivé pura!”, e foi ali que eu me encontrei, dentro do smile.

    Engraçado a crítica meter o pau na Katy Perry ao dizer que ela não sai do mesmo, onde faz letras e melodias básicas sem conceito, mas esquecem que após o lançamento de Witness, seu quarto álbum de estúdio, foi massacrada por tentar fazer algo diferente, levando a depressão.

Smile é o retorno triunfal que faltava em sua carreira, trazendo um clima dançante, com uma pegada aka Katy Perry, com toques e ritmos que lembram seus antigos álbuns, como o Prism (sucesso absoluto). Smile e a volta do sorriso da nova mamãe e a reabertura novamente de seu legado. Deveriam largar o pé da Katy e criticar realmente as músicas, não a persona Katheryn, não é de hoje que a mídia e os grandes sites fazem um eterno caça as bruxas a cantora, pelo seu posicionamento político e seu jeito de ser. SMILE, entrega vocais, performances, tranquilidade, calmaria mediante a uma época de caos. Com pontos altos e medianos, não se encontra um single ruim. É ser totalmente ignorante querer comparar os lançamentos atuais com "Roar", "Firework" ou "Dark Horse", o pop muda, o estilo muda, e o público junto. Não estamos no auge do estilo como a 10/8 anos atras. Os fogos não se apagaram, o doce não azedou e o rugido ainda se mantém. Parabéns Katy Perry, pelo seu legado aos 35 anos de idade, e mais de 10 anos de carreira, ser relevante e estar na mídia como você nesse tempo onde, artistas femininas precisam sempre se renovar e se reafirmar devido a mídia e as críticas machistas, não é para qualquer um. Saiba que o MEU SORRISO você conquistou e sempre conquistará!… Expand

Aqui ela mostra todo esse processo, de quando ela ficou triste, de quando ela foi resiliente, até encontrar seu sorriso de novo. Katy ousa muito nesse álbum, musicalmente falando ele não é tão grandioso, mas como um bom álbum pop ele se sobressai de uma maneira incrível. Não soa como Teenage Dream e nem como o PRISM, Smile é único. A cantora aqui evolui como pessoa, e isso é extremamente importante na carreira de um artista. Acredito que seu quinto álbum de estúdio não é um trabalho que vai evoluir ela artisticamente falando, mas é um álbum extremamente importante pra ela e pra fase atual da vida dela, desde o Witness até aqui, a gente vê como Katy Perry conseguiu sorrir novamente após uma era tão difícil. Então, Smile é um ponto final, ela fecha o conturbado Witness. Acredito que veremos o resultado disso nos próximos trabalhos da Katy, onde ela vai estar mais forte do que nunca. O novo álbum de Katy não soa como um filler, e sim como necessário para o momento. Smile é como o fermento do bolo, o ingrediente que faltava e o mais importante, onde fará ela crescer, e a partir disso, veremos como ficou esse bolo de sonhos e doçuras no seu próximo passo. Eu definitivamente encontrei meu sorriso também.… Expand

    Smile is about the journey of the last 2 years of the singer, each song represents a stage of the difficult moment in which the artist lived after the release of her album Witness. The melodies and the production is what the industry has been consuming at the moment and the lyrics deal with current issues. The album brings out the best in Katy Perry. Enjoy it and SMILE

    Smile is one of the best records of 2020, and the best in her career, with amazing sounds and beautiful lyrics.

    Simplesmente a Katy nos trouxe o seu sorriso de volta, esse é o sucessor do PRISM. Katy provou mais uma vez ser uma das cantoras mais importantes da indústria ao trazer esse AOTY!

    This album for me is amazing. Is perfect. There isn't a song that you can say "this one is bad". There's maybe one or two that you don't like that much (or aren't so great as the others) but Smile is perfect for me.

    I don't know why the critics didnt like the album but that doesn't surprise me. Teenage Dreams also broke so many records but got such a bad review, but now it the 2nd only album in the entire history of pop to have 5#1's , the second being Michael Jackson's Bad. The songs have a lot of meaning. Katy's vocals are better than ever which is her strongest point.

I wan't tell the critics that music IS NOT ONLY SONGWRITING, it is about vocal skills too and none of them seem to even appreciate that she was in LABOUR ON 27/08/2020 and GAVE US AN ALBUM ON 28/08/2020. Hats off to Katy… Expand

    Smile is Katy Perry’s best album. It has surprisingly beaten Teenage Dream and Prism, and it deserves to be recognized as one of the best works of 2020 (if not THE best). It’s a shame critics prefer being harsh without any reason, because this is a masterpiece that needs to be heard by everyone.

    One of Katy's best albums. if not her best! Catchy pop music with beautiful and empowering lyrics. Katy was alawys hated on by music critics unfairly.
    Such a great album ♥

    One of her best works to date!!! Love the instrumentals and the overall feeling. The singles do not do it justice, however (Perhaps that lack of promotion would have made for a better outcome).

    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).
