    This is not up to her standard. Very disappointed and I was looking forward to hearing it.

    Bastante flojo y aburrido, nada destacable, debería descansar un tiempo de la música e intentar reinventarse después

    One of her best records so far, the lyrics are amazing and the production it's almost impeccable, songs such as Cry About it Later, Tucked, Not The End of The World and Teary Eyes brings joy, fun and excitement to you while listening

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Album of the year! A very cohesive album from Ms. Perry that reflects her life from three years ago until now. Very triumphant sound with big bass lines, it will make you travel bel back to 80s inspired disco, 90s Eurodance, 00s trap! Album highlight for me is Only Love, a sentimental track which talks talks about if only you ha 12 day left to live. It is so personal yet so rekatable at a listener level. Kudos to Katy Perry on this album. Critics may say otherwise, but it is the voice of the masses that truly matter.… Expand

    this is good. the album, she talks about growth and how she finally found her smile. one of her songs "only love" talks about how she's leaving and forgetting all the hate and negativity and is taking all the love with her. Middle-aged white men based it off of the sound but not the true meaning of the lyrics because that's what everyone does.

    Putz nada contra a Katy, mas os fãs em vez de dar stream vão arrumar briga com quem não deve e recebem o troco

    Smile is full of dancing and inspiring songs that are so important for us these days. Every song of the album could be a #1 hit cause all the songs are awesome, I can't choose my favorite one! Katy did a GREAT job

    One of the best albums of the year that unfortunately was poorly rated by a critic who did nothing but talk about the singer's personal life and did not evaluate her work itself, all so that years later go back and recognize the mistake that was underestimating a job perfect in what it proposes. critical trash, sow and inhumane. incredible album, with purpose achieved in what is proposedOne of the best albums of the year that unfortunately was poorly rated by a critic who did nothing but talk about the singer's personal life and did not evaluate her work itself, all so that years later go back and recognize the mistake that was underestimating a job perfect in what it proposes. critical trash, sow and inhumane. incredible album, with purpose achieved in what is proposed and unpretentiously a SMASH.… Expand

    I think it is the most loving, most personal and most transparent album that Katy has had since the beginning of her career. It's fantastic.

    Smile has a very fresh and feel-free sound that transmits good energy. The song layout is perfect, pairing similar songs together to cohesively tell an entire story. The lyrics are very honest and realistic, much of what today’s pop music lacks. Katy Perry is back and her latest album Smile is proof that if you make music from the heart, its sound will resonate with millions.

    i love katy and the album is cute, but what her fans are doing to lower the scores of other artists is horrible and a shame, poor katy to know that her fans behave in such a horrible way towards other feminine artists. when she spoke of it herself in the interview with zane lowe, they are childish and pathetic but i'm not going to put on their level, so here is your 10

    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).
