    El mejor álbum de Katy Perry de toda su carrera incluso me atrevo a decir que es mucho mejor que Witness y eso que a ese disco lo considero una joya. Las canciones que están conformadas son realmente unos bobp's de lo genial que se escuchan. No sé dejen engañar con la crítica, no vale nada

    Smile's album takes you to a peace of mind that you thought you'd lost, you thought you ended your happiness, with your emotional stability but no and shows it to you in such a special way, this album is a work of art and Elizabeth, you did it

    This album is magical and perfect for the current moment, it would only be even better if there was no pandemic so we could dance at parties, but why not dance at home ?! Katy overcame everything and this is the best record of her career. An objective and clear album is not about being 100% happy, it is about overcoming and learning to live.

    one of katy’s best albums if not her best
    Katy perry’s ‘Smile’ is all we’ve been asking for. It kinda feels like a time machine, taking us back to some of her greatest hits
    Smile , is in general, a mix of all Katy’s albums together

    Katy hit the nail on the head with this album, it's fresh, mature and cohesive, it's definitely her best work since Prism!

    Lyrics are amazing, even though music can sound a lot comercial, lyrics are the best I have heard coming from Katy Perry. It is very personal and basically ART.

    it’s one of katy’s best albuns. She really worked hard for this one, you can fell what she want us to fell, and this is incredibly! she has an amazing ability of putting her soul into her records. It’s very unfair the critics are rating the album with these terrible commentaries. I’m totally sure she deservers more!

    Katy Perry serves concept and club disco on this album. She proves to be a light during these dark times. We should appreciate her for that. I'm particularly obsessed with Tucked!

    I don't know why the critics didnt like the album but that doesn't surprise me. Teenage Dreams also broke so many records but got such a bad review, but now it the 2nd only album in the entire history of pop to have 5#1's , the second being Michael Jackson's Bad. The songs have a lot of meaning. Katy's vocals are better than ever which is her strongest point.

I wan't tell the critics that music IS NOT ONLY SONGWRITING, it is about vocal skills too and none of them seem to even appreciate that she was in LABOUR ON 27/08/2020 and GAVE US AN ALBUM ON 28/08/2020.

    her best álbum, expert critics have always needed someone to take down and since the release of the witness this person is Katy Perry, no matter how impeccable her work is always going to say that it is bad.

    El album es hermoso. Miss Perry dió al publico lo que quería, sin dejar a un lado su arte. El album nos da esperanza en un momento tan duro como lo es la pandemia. Esperemos salir de esto y poder escuchar joyas como CAIT y TE en las discos. Todas las canciones son tan buenas para escuchar en cualquier momento, es muy improbable que des un skip.

    This is truly the best album of the year, very appropriate for this moment, let's cry dancing.
    Each song has it's own empowering message, deserves to be listen in order.
    Smile joins Katy's wonderful catalogue.

    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).
