    SHE DID THAT. She delivered a powerful message with amazing songs. Stop it critics with the bad reviews.

    Katy se atrevió a modernizar el pop con su nuevo disco, encontrando ritmos diferentes y frescos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un álbum con canciones muy movidas, me gustan sus letras y ritmos, aunque debo admitir hay algunas canciones un poco flojas, diría que unas 2 o 3. Pero al final es un buen álbum, algo que sin duda reproducire unas 3 veces a la semana. ❤️… Expand

    The album is just perfect, the vocals, the arrangements all fit together and make sense throughout the tracks. By far one of Katy's best works, very proud.

    It´s an impressive album, although it sounds like the pop sounds that could characterize Katy Perry, it has no comparison with her previous recordings, it has given her a touch of picaresque joy that her fans like so much.

    This is Katy Perry’s best album so far. Champagne Problems, Cry About It later and Teary Eyes are here to prove she can’t do whatever she wants in music. She should be so proud of this album!

    Em momento de angústia Katy Perry consegue, através de diversos ritmos, trazer paz e esperança. Juntando a animação das músicas com suas respectivas mensagens, podemos dizer que "Smile" entra na lista dos melhores álbuns do ano, junto a "Folklore" de Taylor Swift, "Chromatica" de Lady Gaga e "After Hours" de The Weekend. Congratulations to Katy and let's Smile!

    Smile is, musically, the same thing that Katy has been offering for some years, there's no evolution in that sense. However, her lyrics feel more intimate, personal, is like she wants to shout out what she really feels. I enjoyed this album ❤️

    I don't understand critics by saying that he's taken advantage of the pop he used earlier perry. For God's sake you asked him for that in witness and now that he gives it to you you're complaining. It's a fun, deep album. Congratulations Perry

    ¡El álbum es impecable! Verdaderos sonidos pop que son muy agradables al oír y las letras son muy buenas, me atrevo a decir uno de los mejores álbumes del 2020, aunque castigada por la critica, pero amada por el público.

    Katy nos dió una razón para poner una sonrisa en nuestros rostros este año, nos puso a bailar con los ojos llorosos y nos avisa que no es el fin del mundo. Solo amor para Katy y este magnífico álbum.

Katy es de esas artistas que se reinventan de pies a cabeza en cada uno de sus álbumes y nos da excelentes piezas de arte. Aunque su salida de los charts fue en verdad algo doloroso para ella, le hizo exigirse mucho más de lo que solía hacerlo y sacar a flote todo su potencial como una verdadera artista. Este álbum es una obra de arte en todos los sentidos, la letra, la producción, el esfuerzo, la dedicación, todo. Es increíble que absolutamente todas las canciones son tan perfectas y que ninguna parezca algún relleno. Independientemente de todo el odio que sigue recibiendo y que muchos fans no la apoyan me atrevo a decir que es el mejor álbum de su carrera y del 2020. Excelente trabajo, Katheryn. No sólo por mantenerse fiel a si misma como siempre lo ha hecho, sino por la intención de este álbum, el traernos una sonrisa al rostro, alegría, esperanza y amor. Es de aplaudirse que una mujer embarazada y en plena pandemia, que ha sufrido tanto y que sin contar con el apoyo de muchos, nos da lo mejor que ha podido hacer, su álbum "Smile".… Expand

    Muito bom o álbum. Um dos melhores que já ouvi, além de tudo tem me dado uma força danada, merece um dez. A contrução das letras e as melodias são explendidas. Muito foda

    Basura pop que ni a los fans les gustó, pero que para no dejar pasar la witness a su recién parida idola, están aclamando.

    Genérico, olvidable, patético y pretencioso podrian describir este álbum. Katy Perry no tiene talento y lo demuestra en este dolor de cabeza que llama álbum. Líricas mediocres y produccion plana, salvables 3 tracks y el resto es una bazofia.

    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).
