    One of her best albums! She's back! I loved it, a brand new album with lots of bops; pure pop, reminding a Katy Perry classic style and at the same time bringing us new sounds.

    Katy Perry overcame herself in this new album, with lots of messages of hope and happiness. And as she said, this album will help you to get your smile back, at list helped me. The way the songs fits to each other is just as beautiful as she said would be, Katy's best album so far!

    Katy once again delivers an album full of pop perfection tracks. The standouts certainly have to be Teary Eyes, Cry About It Later, and Not the End of the World.

    De longe o melhor álbum da Katy Perry, com esse álbum há músicas que faz qualquer pessoa perder o fôlego ouvindo, acho uma injustiça e tremenda incoerência as reviews que o álbum está recebendo pelos críticos, parecendo mais ser uma avaliação da Katy Perry como pessoa do que o material incrível que a mesma lançou.

    This album makes me cry. I’ve heard her pain. I’ve heard her growth. I’ve heard her re-gained joy. She has gone through a lot since the last album and we all can see her growth from past to now. Love it and Katy. And welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom!!

    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).
