    talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it

    This is her masterpiece of work. Cohesive, on point, lyrically THE BEST, musically even better. She surpassed for so many things through these years and she is living the best moment with the most light right now, she build her family... she gave birth to a daughter. I just hope those f#ckers "critics" dont bring her down again, but remember she is stronger this time you'll CANT BRING HERThis is her masterpiece of work.

Those low notes for the album are extremely non-sense and disrespectful. Everybody out there is loving the album, critics could gave at least a 60, but they're being meaning to her. Thats not fair, but i have one thing to say: God timing is always right!… Expand

    The album is full bops and literally has no skips! Cry About It Later will take you to the 80s 90s 00s 10s! 12 bops in one album, Katy just take my wig!

    Smile is a personal album of Katy. She never disappoints me. I especially love Harley's in Hawaii, one of the best songs released by Katy, Never Really Over, Smile, What Makes A Woman and Daisies. I love you, Katy. You rock mama. ❤️

    imo literally the worst work from her. it has good songs i cannot lie. such as: teary eyes, never really over, harleys in hawaii and small talk. however, after smile (the single) i decreased my expectations about the album. even that did not work.

    Um álbum com mensagens incríveis e que infelizmente a crítica insiste em pega no pé da Katy a troco de nada. Mas enfim, quem deve se agradar do álbum é o público e não a crítica. Passar bem Rolling Stones!

    Katy Perry is back with a cheerful album that can potentially put a smile on your face. That's who she is, and we support an optimistic queen. It's fun, specially in such a tough year. Don't lose hope.

    It is strange how many fans of Lady Gaga insist on coming here to give a low rating to the album.
    Smile is a much more pleasant and cohesive project than the previous Witness. Katy is more comfortable with the sound and more confident in her compositions. Cyr it About Later would undoubtedly be a commercially successful single with a proper promotion

    A wonderful album to beggining to end, Katy saved pop. Katy save pop once again, the album takes you through different moods and you can feel the real of Katy in every song.

    TOTALMENTE ADMIRABLE NOS MUESTRA UNA KATY MADURA Y QUE RECUPERO SU SONRISA, SIN DUDA UNA PATRONA DE LA INDUSTRIA. ¡KATY PERRY ESTA DE VUELTA!

    Just not a good album, the only song that stands out is NRO and it’s a song from last year that stinks of desperation to put on the album to boost streams.

    Dua Lipa has replaced any need for Katy Perry in the music industry, she’s good for a throwback but her future remains bleak.

    Katy Perry you did it. This is the best album of the year, the best album of her career and I'm so proud of the message she delivered with it. She deserves all the love and support, not just because she's a mom now but for this incredible peace of work she gave us. Don't care about what the critics says, it's really amazing and they hate her for doing everything so perfect. That's it. Thank you so much Katy Perry, you're THE QUEEN.    … Expand

    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).
