    This album is not good enough, just sounds like a old album of Katy. and actually she is not talented.

    So boring. Nothing new, I think Katy has to consider retirement... just saying.

    May not be her best album but I love it! Only Love is undoubtably my favourite track on the album! Glad to see her spreading positivity and happiness during this time.

    It’s really sad seeing a once really talented and popular artist coming out with an album like this...

    Las pistas que complementan el álbum no están mal, pero en general ya muchas habian sidos lanzadas y escuchadas y al final resulta en algo que no es tan novedoso, Katy debió apostar por más canciones nuevas, me gusta y lo escucharía ocasionalmente

    Absolutely gorgeous and it leaves a dream-like feeling. It represents the healing Katy has been through and it is brilliant and touching. The atmospheric sound makes you feel like you're floating on sunset clouds.

    It is a great album. It is a our beat depression. Keep smiling despite bad things.

    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

    The worst one yet, Katy craves for radio hits and forgets to give us quality and genuine content. The lyrics are weak, the melodies are generic, we can see no evolution, no soul, no truth.

    "Smile" is a splendid, wonderful, magnificent pop album full of quality.
    With songs that make your skin crawl.
    Without a doubt one of the best Katy Perry albums.

    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).
