    This album is a jewel, one of the few jewels that you can find in this last decade of music, each song has a life of its own and makes you fall in love with the story that sadly some people (including myself) have gone through but at the end of the road we can always find our own smile and laugh with a couple of champagne glasses so what cry about it later tonight I'm havin fun.

    Her best album so far! She deserves more and she's a legend of this industry, you cannot just ignore her... This album has songs like “Harleys In Hawaii”, “Never Really Over”, “Not The End Of The World”, “What Makes a Woman” and the best one: “Only Love”. She talks about sadness and problems without being melancholic, but trying to see through the good side of stuff. Just loved the way sheHer best album so far!

    This is the best album from Katy Perry so far, all the tracks are pop perfection, it has no skips, and deserves all, and so much more of what the "professional critics" are giving her.

    I have been a fan of Katy for over 10 years and I can assure you this album is everything I was waiting for. It's a shame she keeps getting bad reviews when she's one of the biggest pop artists of our times and she just delivered a pop perfection. An album without any bad songs. It was written from the bottom of her heart, it is authentic and is about real personal growth. LET'S STREAM SMILE

    Katy Perry captured the essence of all her albums and put it in "Smile", turning it into something completely new but still very Katy Perry. Just like "Teenage Dream", "Smile" will be an era that will mark and will continue to be remembered even a decade from now.

    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).
