    The songs, per se, are pretty good, at least most ot them. But only 3 of them are really impressive, the rest is pretty mediocre, nice to listen but nothint that really impresses.

    Katy has pivoted to.. boring! After the first two songs the album felt like a mission to stay awake to while listening. Katy Perry needs a long hard break.

    The Smile album is one of those albums that when you listen to it you fall deeply in love, enjoying each song over and over again. Excellent work Katy

    A kid's bop album with a few bops. Disappointed in the lack of artistic growth from her after all these years.

    Hands down the best piece of work she ever released in her career. Starting off with a banger of Never Really Over, serving bops like Cry About It Later, Tucked, Not The End of The World, Harleys in Hawaii, Daisies, Only Love, and ending with a feminist anthem What Makes a Woman. Truly a perfect pop album.

    Um álbum para sentir. O maior acerto foi a compositora ter sido a produtora executiva do SMILE, dividido em 4 partes que contam uma história contínua e coesa sobre as quedas e processos até uma estabilidade emocional e felicidade sem soar fantasioso. Katy soube experimentar todas as suas habilidades e pontos positivos de sua carreira em todas as 12 faixas sem soar repetitiva ou pretensiosaUm álbum para sentir.

    Katy finally found hersel artistically, this is what she loves to do, this is what she knows how to do better, It does not matter if she's always been like this because this is what she feels good doing. It is a perfect pop album with influences of the 80s and eurodance kind of sonha. Her best body of work so far.

    Katy never let me down and in this time wasn't different. Smile is a complete album, with a clear narrative line and with dancing rhythms and motivational lyrics, a product of the depressive period Katy passed through in the last year. Smile is a great album and deserves to be highly valued.

    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).
