    Um álbum extremamente mediano e algumas faixas se tornam extremamentes genéricas e esquecíveis,Katy errou muito colocando Smile como pré single,pois Smile é totalmente fraco e parece trilha sonora de um novo filme infantil da Netflix,Daiseis é uma boa faixa mas não deveria ter sido trabalhada como foi,se ela tivesse divulgado Never Really Over ou Harley's in Hawaii no lugar talves elaUm álbum extremamente mediano e algumas faixas se tornam extremamentes genéricas e esquecíveis,Katy errou muito colocando Smile como pré single,pois Smile é totalmente fraco e parece trilha sonora de um novo filme infantil da Netflix,Daiseis é uma boa faixa mas não deveria ter sido trabalhada como foi,se ela tivesse divulgado Never Really Over ou Harley's in Hawaii no lugar talves ela teria um #5 na Hot 100,Cry About It Later,Champange Problems,Not The End Of The World e Harleys IN Hawaii se tornam as mais legais do álbum.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El album comienza bien, pero el mismo llega a tener errores, pero los mismos no hacen malo al album, tal vez no sea perfecto el mismo, pero es agradable al escucharse. Por ejemplo el album llega a tener momentos cumbres como HIH, CP, NRO, etc, siendo estas canciones muy frescas y muy bien producidas. Pero el album tambien tiene momentos malos como Resilient donde la voz y el ritmo no van de acuerdo a lo que la canción trata de transmitir. Por otra parte mejora los ritmos a comparación de su anterior album "Witness". Principalmente este album es bueno, aunque tiene errores, pero es uno de los mejores trabajos de Katy Perry y verdaderamente se nota el esfuerzo y la mejora… Expand

    It is a great album at the first listen, but then some songs like ''Smile'' and ''What Makes a Woman'' get definitely skippable.

    Bops after bops. Short but sweet album. It’s crazy how it’s still cohesive despite the fact that each song almost has a different sound to follow the suitable intended vibe for each part of the overall storytelling throughout the album. Oh, and critics stay pressed.

    One of the best albums I've ever heard in my life, Katy speaks in a unique way about sadness and joy. One of the crazy artists who evolved in this rotten industry. She doesn't need chats

    Smile (2020): O álbum tem bons singles, consegue fazer com que a maioria dos fãs dancem com as músicas. Pode não ser o melhor álbum do ano, mas é um álbum com bastante potencial. Nota: 7.4

    It is a correct albun with a good rhythm, the lyrics of the songs give a message of hope and of seeking joy without emporting that it comes.

    This album was a big disappointment, especially coming from Katy Perry who has had at least some deep cuts on all her albums but somehow fails to deliver this time.

    Katy Perry has given us her fifth studio album titled "Smile" in which one we go through many personal issues, self love and how Katy has been getting her smile back.

    This album didn't live up to my expectations, I mean, in many songs the production reminded me of Prism, her 3rd studio album. Tracks like "smile" or "resilient" were one of those (I have to say that I love how Katy's voice sounds on "resilient"). Her voice sounds sweet and angelical in every single track, so I don't have to say anything about that. In tracks like "Harley's in Hawaii", "champagne problems" and "not the end of the world" I enjoyed the production, specially when the beat drops on the chorus. The tropical sound on "harley's in Hawaii", the disco sound on "champagne problems" and the trap sound on "not the end of the world" literally makes me love those tracks (although "not the end of the world" reminds me of witness). Songs like what "makes a woman", "daisies" and "only love" are beautiful balads that share a message about Katy's point of view in many stuffs like how she sees a Woman, how she feels about all the hate that she received before and what she would do if the world was ending. "Cry about it later", and "teary eyes" share the similar message, leaving her saddens behind and start the process of getting her smile back. "Tucked" and "Never really over" are tracks with a jolly sound that makes you dance. "Never really over" is a break up song while "tucked" is a song about how Katy feels with her lover.
    To conclude, Smile isn't a great comeback for katy, but an improvement after Witness. It deserves a Grammy nomination, I must confess.    … Expand

    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).
