    Conceito, coesão e aclamação, essa é uma fase muito importante pra Katy tanto pessoalmente quanto artisticamente, sinto que esse amadurecimento pode vir mais de forma mais sólida nos próximos lançamentos

    This is art. Katherine is finding her smile again and growing up with her little Daisy and Lando. Music and words are astonishing.

    Single Smile is the best part of the album. Catchy and a good sing along tune. Rest of the album feels deeply under whelming.

    Her music has not progressed over the years and lacks depth. The album is not cohesive and some lyrics are banal.

    Katy is back and better than ever thanks to this wonderful album for her fans and for her lovely daughter and fianceé. Insipiring pop album during a hard time that will bring a smile to your face, fan or not. The critics are the true clowns.

    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).
