    A wonderful album from beginning to end. The lyrics on the album match a lot of what Katy went through during her depression, and after she got better. The melodies are excellent and dancing. Thank you and good luck Katy!

    This album is amazing. She opens the album with something as perfect as Never Really Over, and ends with something as empowering as What Makes a Woman. Simply powerful.

    That's a really great album, doesn't have a none unique bad song. Katy tell us her story about this three years where she loses her life control and take the right back founding her smile and a genuine and pure love (orlando & daisy).

    O melhor álbum desde o surgimento do homem. Essa é a maior invenção da humanidade e quem discorda precisa de avaliação psicológica.

    Melhor álbum do ano mostrando várias facetas da mesma artista, como ela pode monstar ou contar uma história onde a vários universos rodando em volta de um central que é recuperar seu sorriso, da melancólia a felicidade .

    A Step up from Witness, with music straight from Katy Perry's heart like Daisies, What Makes a Woman, Resliant, Its not the End Of the World. After the abuse she suffered from General Public for basically nothing she finally has her smile back and I love to see, Katy Perry is incredible and this Album is beautiful with Zero Skips

    Undoubtedly, one of the best albums of her career, a resilient album which shows that it doesn't matter how dark everything can seem, it is always important to smile and keep going. Love the lyrics, the story that tells and of course the wide variety of sounds and rythms.

    Katy stays true to her sound and identity. There's no need to just follow the new trends when they wouldn't fit her aesthetics... She offered us very captivating songs that can make us vibe and even dance. Pop Music needed an album like this, in a time when anyone needs an optimistic distraction.

    Katy just did what we love about her - straightforward lyrics, with some cheesy lines that are relatable to anyone and can have simple deep meanings. All with very nice instrumentals.    … Expand

    Esse álbum está perfeito, um álbum que quanto mais ouço mais quero ouvir. Não é cansativo, não é repetitivo é uma obra prima, com mensagens de superação e otimismo. Uma injeção de sorrisos em tempos tão turvos como o que estamos passando.

    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).
