    An album with messages of positivity and resilience. Great vibe, pure pop at it’s best. Cry About It Later, Teary Eyes, Never Really Over and Only Love are simply perfect.

    En verdad es un álbum muy fresco divertido, tiene canciones muy buenas... Cada una de ellas transmite un mensaje de paz, amor, armonía y de como recuperar la sonrisa después de perderla. Excelentes sonidos y las letras hermosas.
    Katy se ha convertido en una de las artistas pop actuales que tiene una conexión muy fuerte con sus fans

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O retorno de Katy a suas raízes Pop e saída de uma depressão profunda que sofreu após o álbum 'Witness. O álbum 'Smile' nos mostra essa jornada para encontrar a luz no final do túnel, com 'Never Really Over' ela inicia essa jornada 'I'm losing my self control' perdendo seu auto controle e finaliza o álbum com What makes a Woman 'There is, Ketheryn' mostrando quem é Ketheryn, uma cantora, mãe e mulher, que sobreviveu a tempos de caos e saiu disso triunfantemente.… Expand

    Uno de sus mejores trabajos discográficos.
    No hay ni una sola canción de relleno y tanto la producción como la lírica sorprenden.

    Um álbum incrível, sincero e do coração. Katy traz total verdade do que sente em suas letras e a arte vem de dentro pra fora. Além disso, o álbum conta uma história de forma coesa como nunca visto em nenhum lugar. A sonoridade também conversa com cada fase dessa história, o que torna a experiência de ouvi-lo incrível!

    Sonidos ochenteros y letras muy personales invaden a smile por completo. El mejor album de Katy hasta ahora. Sabemos que la critica la escupe. Pero tambien sabemos lo bueno que es su trabajo. Ella mo necesita nada se esto para ser quien es.

    Critics are joke! We are the only reliable critic here. Doddle's Academy is giving it a 10/10. A purrfect score for skippless pop-bop album of the year.

Her impeccable production and lyricism is always on point and DA don't know why other critics don't appreciate her that much, like are they deaf or sumn or just attacking her personally. Perry literally bloom right through the cracks, her vocals for each song are also present, it can either levitate us through the rainbows or blow us like Daisies blown by air in Himalayas. To wrap it up, Smile is her best album to date, a contender for AOTY at Grammys (but they're trash so...) nevertheless, this album deserves more. Katheryn Elizabeth Bloom is here.    … Expand

Katy Perry did fed us with the real nature of showing Smile with her different stories of love, inspiration and life imperfections. Very incomparable with Teenage Dream & Prism. Its not a Pop Music Alnum, but full of elemental tracks. This is truly a POP PERFECTION of 2020. Tasteless reviews from those paparazzis are not true. The Queen here is really back!! Imagine Katy Perry is pregnant and manage to work really hard to show this masterpiece. Such a hardworking woman and dedicated artist. KatyCats are really lucky stanning Katy Perry.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. katy perry is perfect for pop music she is made to be successful. Although these last few years have had a bad time, they have given us excellent music and none is the exception. But most of the public I hate it, I really don't understand it !! I disrespect perry. The album has a good concept, some great songs that are really worth listening to a thousand times and of course it is perfect, unlike Wittness it does not bring much more catchy songs that are not easy to forget. For me Katy deserves all the unconditional love. She has never given us something to hate her. If you don't have anything good to say to the great perry. Then shut your mouth. She doesn't disrespect anyone because those who criticize to hurt her are **** in the head.… Expand

    a fantastic journey through Perry's emotions. In all your albums you can see growth and maturity. But in SMILE, it is evident that it has blossomed. an epic journey to heal the thorn-bruised heart, is what we need in these dark days. This is essential

    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).
