    On of Katy's best albums. if not her best. Catchy pop music with beautiful lyrics. Katy was alawys hated on by music critics. All these reviews are a joke and should never happended. Katy dosen't deserve this.

    Honestly one of her best albums so far. The lyrics are captivating and deep: Katy talks about her worst period, while she dances and laughs. That’s exactly what I expected from her. There are some unforgettable songs like Cry About It Later, Never Really Over and Not The End Of The World. There’s only one song that I don’t like: Resilient.

    Finally, Miss Perry has outdone herself with this album full of BOPS that can easily make you dance until you break your legs or cry your heart to track number 11 Only Love. This is definitely Katy's best album and is undoubtedly Album Of The Year. The World needs an album like this during this tiring times to get through it with a BIG AND BRIGHT SMILE.

    i really don’t understand why some people judge music off of reviews written by a bunch of middle aged white people that know nothing about the artist or the music, critical acclaim doesn’t equal success, impact or how good smile is.

    The queen of pure pop is back and better than ever, this is Katy Perry at her best. Each track delivers an euphoric uplifting get out of your seat urgency but it’s filled with deeper undertone lyrics which is personally my favourite style of music. Smile is 10/10.

    Katy Perry once more showcases her strength in crafting pop gems! Highlights like ‘Never Really Over’ and ‘Resilient’ prove to top tier production with wordplay that just brings a smile to your face! Perry explores newer concepts in songs like ‘Cry About It Later’ and ‘Not The End Of The World’ giving the listener a range of emotional connection.

    Ella simplemente te lleva por una montaña de emociones, pero simplemente este álbum es para tener un poco de esperanza, de fé y de amor.
    Katy Perry ha lanzado el mejor álbum de su carrera estando embarazada, en medio de una pandemia y a sus 35 años.
    Plenamente puedo decir que cada una de estas canciones están llena de emociones que seguro harán cantar en cada segundo.

    the critics must be deaf because this record is fantastic. they critiqued her for being too experimental on witness and now she’s too safe on smile? They hate Teenage Dream when it came out and now they say Smile doesn’t compare? they’ll never be happy with what Katy Perry does, but it doesn’t matter because she’s Katy Fing Perry.

It feels like a little journey between Teenage Dream and Prism, but guided to the new theme of happiness and something new called Katy Perry's mature mind. And yes, SMILE has songs that we can play on the party and become anthems like Cry About It Later.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Smile tiene un muy buen concepto, y no lo pierde; sus letras son muy buenas y si hay uno más que otro detalle pero son detalles y es algo mínimo pero sin duda una gran composición y buena estructura y por eso me parece un muy buen álbum. Me transmite mucho sus letras y creo que ha logrado lo que quiso lograr, palabras que te atrapan con tal para sentir lo que ella quiso expresar. Dos palabras "Me encantó".… Expand

    This album it’s absolutely amazing and perfect to this moment that we are living. I’m always very connected with music and I think that this album give me some new hope to live another day. The way how the songs were disposed ITS AMAZING. I can see a history listening to this álbum.

    Highlights on the album are: Only Love, Tucked, Teary Eyes, Cry About It Later.

    I think smile is the best album of her. I am so impressed by the theme of the album, it is joyfull but also sad. My faves are never really over, teary eyes, harleys in hawaii and cry about it later. I am so satisfied!

    Katy Perry has returned in the best way. Despite the mixed reviews by critics, Smile is a fan favourite and was very highly anticipated, and was released coincidentally alongside her first baby with fiancé Orlando Bloom, Daisy Dove Bloom.

Not as experimental as her last album, Witness (2017) Katy returned to her true pop sound. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, thank you for blessing us with this album. Stream SMILE :D… Expand

    Perry finally finds her smile again after struggling with depression for years. This album is full of catchy songs with very deep and meaningful lyrics.

    Katy Perry really did her best to give us the best music during the epidemic. The layers transmitting from songs to songs are very cohesive with the feeling from healing to the reborn with her love and smile back. Some critics just hate her for no reasons comparing with her past records and even other females. Those are nonsense and pointless.

    She really brought the joy and light that our current time needed. This album is so special, and it's truly a bop after bop experience. Kuddos to Katy especially for turning the sadness and dark that she went through into something so beautiful. Truly a joy to listen to this album

    The first 3 tracks (NRO, CAIL, TE) flow with each others PERFECTLY, lyrics are kinda repetitive in both Teary Eyes and CAIL but I’m not that mad about it.

    I’ve never been a fan of Daisies. Resilient is placed perfectly, I love the lyrics and the overall production though it has nothing special. NTEOTW is a hit song material, a chart topper to say the least.. I think it should be pushed    The first 3 tracks (NRO, CAIL, TE) flow with each others PERFECTLY, lyrics are kinda repetitive in both Teary Eyes and CAIL but I’m not that mad about it.

    NTEOTW is a hit song material, a chart topper to say the least.. I think it should be pushed as a single. Smile is awful, the only skip on the album. Champagne Problems’ production is so pleasing, I LOVE the verses and the bridge.

    Tucked is one of my faves on the album. Harleys in Hawaii not being pushed and promoted is a case of the FBI because its probably one of the best songs in her career. Only Love is such a good ballad-mid tempo song, I don’t get the hate. What Makes A Woman is an ok ballad, I wasn’t expecting something special, should’ve never been released earlier.. such a dumb move.    … Expand

    She's coming back with the best album of the 2020! I'm shocked that Katy Perry still delivers us really GOOD music even the singer gave birth to a beautiful daughter named Daisy Bloom this month, I can fell the power she gives to the album, the title is called SMILE and succesfully make me SMILE in this pandemic, thank you for your hard work, I'm proud of you, Katy Perry!

    Absolute pop perfection! This album explores the many facets of pop music, from the inspirational, to the melancholy to the romance, all crafted with sleek production, strong melodies and decent lyrics. If you want straight-forward, catchy and compelling pop music, you have arrived!

    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).
