    She is back! And the outstanding album was worth the wait! It has many happy tracks about Katy getting her smile back, then also tracks about what she went through during the witness era. And she also put a reference to one of her older albums in one of the songs!

    Com certeza um dos melhores álbuns da carreira da Katy, se não o melhor. Ela conseguiu transmitir tudo que ela queria dizer utilizando uma sonoridade muito bem desenvolvida. Algumas músicas te fazem dançar e pular por todo lugar, outras trazem uma vibe trap arrepiante e outras são pra ouvir calminho no seu lugar. Simplesmente o Smile traz uma experiência completa.

    It is a album full of bops. Every song tell a message and a part of Katy's live. Definitely this album is the best album of the year and the best album of Katy Perry.

    It’s her best album in years! The cohesion of the tracks and the message behind this album is definitely phenomenal. She is truly at her prime when she’s happy and confident.

    a light in a much needed dark space that we are all in right now. The singer has done what she does best: deliver a pop-filled anthem(s)

    She doesn't need validation from the critics anymore, and it shows on this album, where she finds herself more free than EVER. Sonically it's a good pop album full of upbeat songs to dance while crying. 10/10.

    Katy Perry did it again with this album. The sound is fresh and will definitely give you a SMILE. The meaning of the songs are deep, while still having a nice beat being easy to enjoy.

    One of the best albums of the year that unfortunately was poorly rated by a critic who did nothing but talk about the singer's personal life and did not evaluate her work itself, all so that years later go back and recognize the mistake that was underestimating a job perfect in what it proposes. critical trash, sow and inhumane. incredible album, with purpose achieved in what is proposedOne of the best albums of the year that unfortunately was poorly rated by a critic who did nothing but talk about the singer's personal life and did not evaluate her work itself, all so that years later go back and recognize the mistake that was underestimating a job perfect in what it proposes. critical trash, sow and inhumane. incredible album, with purpose achieved in what is proposed and unpretentiously a SMASH.… Expand

    "Smile" is the best katy perry album, each song conveys a special feeling in addition to the fact that the lyrics along with the sound mixes are something extraordinary.

    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).
