    Muy buen álbum donde katy perry habla sobre su peor época donde calló al flop y ella igualmente sigue haciendo música sin importarle que piensen los demás, un album con mucha profundidad resiliencia y esperanza.

    Her best album yet. Absolutely amazing all the songs. Katy Perry is giving her best and she did it! It’s a shame the critics hate her but we, the people who actually will listen the album, love her and love this album. 10/10

    Coeso do início ao fim, Katy Perry nunca erra no que se propõe a fazer. A crítica não entende o que é ser uma artista completa.

    It is an album with an impressive mix of sounds, emotional lyrics and great visuals. I do not compromise on the subjective point of professional criticism because they seem like a lot of immature children who can't get over that Katy won't do the same thing again

    Uno de sus mejores trabajos, líricamente, en producción de álbum, los sonidos, la secuencia, el como se desarrolla el álbum, una gran evolución desde One of the boys. Se nota mucho el esfuerzo en este álbum, se notan los detalles con los que está hecho y fue trabajado

    As músicas embora repetitivas e parecidas com outros álbuns da própria Katy pode se tornar um fenômeno até pq todas são boas! Chega de bater!

    Very coherent and very well produced album. Katy returned to pop from her comfort zone with some more experimental highlights with very dance music, bordering on electronic music.

    For me, her second best album. The lyrics, the production are very matching. And some vocals remember the old Katy

    Katy Perry se reinventa en cada era y eso hace que tenga más hits, y sobresalga en la industria musical, el mejor álbum de Katy perry, sólo por detrás de prism, la canción más exitosa es Cry About Later, siempre será la reina de la década, ella es la única sucesora de Madonna

    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).
