    Best album of the year! I am listening to this about 3 hours. An album that fits perfectly in these Covid times bringing me back that smile that I missed because of this stupid virus.

    Best katy perry I've ever listened so far, might be even better than teenage dream!

I really believe that this album would garner a cult following to pop music fans, it might not have the commercial success now but im sure people would look back and appreciate this album :) Expand

    Esse é aquele álbum para se fechar os olhos e ouvir no último volume, Perry entregou tudo o que disse e um pouco mais. Ela não conseguiu somente seu sorriso de volta, mas encontrou a luz. De longe um dos melhores (se não), o melhor álbum do ano.

    Katy Perry nos introduce en un viaje donde a partir de letras con mensajes muy importantes y ritmos innovadores pero fiel a su esencia logra recuperar su sonrisa

    Uno de los mejores álbumes de Katy Perry desde Prism, KATY PERRY a mejorado vocalemente, este álbum necesita más reconocimiento y las críticas de las revistas no sirven porque solo critican a Katy como personas y dejan de lado al album, esas tienen tan poco o nada de profesionalismo, comparan a katy con otras artistas, y eso nunca se debe hacer ...

    This is the most honest, dancing, and gorgeous album. Katy finally got her SMILE back, and she's doing just great! Might be my new fav album of her. It has all those things that i loved, when i listened "After Laughter", from Paramore. The lyrics are deep, but the beat make you wanna dance.

    Un excelente álbum, la crítica sólo califica su vida personal y no su trabajo, lejos del fanatismo no son objetivos.

    In addition to the smiles Katy Perry brought in that album the essence that made her a pop star. Lyrics full of truth and feelings that we saw in One Of The Boys, instrumentals and vocals that bring pleasure to our ears, in addition to being complex and rich, totally admirable. We can feel a PRISM vibe that kills Miss Katy Perry Hit Maker.

    Really deep lyrics for those who ever been thru that. I'm a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and I can relate with almost every song and also with the production. I dont know is Kety is a HSP, but this album is a journey that we HSP used to live in our inside world. Thank you so much Katy.

    The album shows different emotions after a heartbreak, how her go through and find her very own being. It's easy to get into it and flow with the rhythm of the songs.

    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).
