    This is the best Album of this years, I can say it is the best record for Katy too, songs like Cry About it Later and Tucked are totally songs of this summer.

    Her best! This album is everything the world needs right now. Only love and Not the End of the World are the best songs I’ve ever heard nowadays. Pop perfection. Thank you, Katheryn.

    Smile Is the best musical art work from Katy Perry, She's coming back with an old Katy's style with sounds and vibes of Prism and Teenage Dream but we can hear a new Katy Style that can make you dance with songs like Never Really Over or Cry About it Later, Her vocals are incredible on this Album, Katy worked so hard for 2 years in this Album and we can see it on the iconic visuals.

    she made us dance to constructive music, nothing to get bored. she is faithful to her gender and her fans since she is governed by what she likes and not what the media wants.

    Hannah Mylrea is a tasteless pig and should not work for @NME, same goes for Leah Greenblatt who works at @EW.
    @HannahMylrea & @Leahbats on twitter are both trash critics & stuck in the past. there’s
    no evolution, no growth just the same old boring key strokes. i’d suggest their employers seek out new tasteful ears as those hags aren’t generating anything but negativity and awful taste.

    Phenomenal. Katy as an artist really stepped outside of her comfort zone showing us another side of “Katy Perry”. The tracks tells all the stories perfectly and straightforward.

    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).
