    Vulnerable, innovador y creativo. Un álbum que contiene mucha alegría entre sus versos pero que no llega a aburrir, tampoco se llega a ser muy infantil, es muy sobrio. Es más bien un álbum Smile para adultos que están en busca de su sonrisa

    I expected something more from Katy. Disappointed. I liked Daises though. Hope next one will be Better

    Este álbum nos muestra una Katy agradecida pues como ella misma dice recupero su sonrisa nos da toques de PRISM y Teenege Dream considero que es de sus mejores trabajos discográficos.

    Not a huge fan but this is one of her best works if not the best. Cry about it later , not the end of the world, tucked , champagne problems are the best. Only love hold its own ground while teary eyes and harleys in Hawaii are nearly perfect in their production.

    think the music critics are so biased to katy. Why? This album is her best. Also, pitchfork told us that why now? Well the answer is its because we're in a pandemic and the songs fits nowadays. Also critics saying that it is uninspired. Maybe they don't know katy had gone through in the last 3 years

    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).
