    Es lo mismo de siempre y esto lo hago más bien por sus fans que son muy tóxicos y siempre se ponen a pelear

    Una álbum lleno de mensajes y bastante energético, sin duda lo mejor de Katy Perry.

    Some songs reminds me her previous materials like PRISM or Witness, but it's nice. It is not her best album but she is still a legend. Good for Tucked, Daises and What Makes a woman!

    That is the best studio album of Katy Perry! The most cohesive album of her career.

    Me transmitio sin duda felicidad y uno se da cuenta de cuando le llega la felicidad a alguien que estuvo al borde del suicidio, gracias por darnos este álbum y cambio mi forma de ver la vida!

    Smile es una travesía confusa de emociones encontradas; hay canciones que provocan euforia y algarabía, y otras que sumergen a uno en la más profunda pena. Por desgracia, la ilación entre canciones no fue la correcta. La metáfora del disco sugiere que sonrías mientras ocultas tristeza. La verdad es que lo más penoso fue desperdiciar el concepto.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Vamos a hablar de Smile, independientemente del 10 otorgado (como fan). De forma objetiva el album se lleva un 8. Perry muestra madurez en sus letras y a pesar de que la producción del mismo recuerda mucho a Teenage Dream o Prism en el encontramos canciones con un aire fresco y renovado.
    Professional critic sucks, no han hecho más que enfocarse en la comparación con otros discos que no tienen nada que ver.
    Top Tracks (orden personal- nota objetiva)
    1) Never Really Over 10
    2) Not the end of the world 9
    3) Teary eyes 7
    4) Cry about it later 8
    5) Daisies 10
    6) Only love 9
    7) Champange Problems 8
    8) Harleys in Hawaii 9
    9) What makes a woman 7
    10) Tucked 8
    11) Smile 7
    12) Resilient 6

    An POP album that's not only funny to hear, but also carries a message about being happy after a troubled moment in your life. It's meaningful, profound and soft.

    Nada nuevo, parece ser un refrito de witness.
    En realidad necesitamos que se reinvente por que si no terminara muriendo, la respeto y todo pero naaah

    More of the same, in short it is boring and simply bad, I expected more from the interpreter of dark horse or teenage dream.

    Actually, she did. She got back our smiles and we hope all the people around the world feel the same. One of her most intimate records, one of her best records.

    El mejor álbum del 2020. Los sonidos electrónicos de cada canción hace que recordemos los grandes éxitos de los 70's 80's y 90's

    Actually, the album is pretty basic. It's a cute album but nothing more. In my opinion it has one of Katy's best song (Harleys in Hawaii) but the other non-singles songs ain't that new. I love Katy but this year the others Pop Girls did a better work.

    Em seu quinto Hinário, Katy Perry nos entrega uma obra prima, com uma sonoridade incrível, apresentando músicas que nos fazem sorrir e dançar.

    I still don't get and stand how critics are showing themselves with their reviews of the album.
    But, who am I to judge how nonprofessional their criticisms are?

    This new album is amazing, each of his songs brings out a smile, transmits that joy to you and awakens the desire to dance. This is one of her best albums.

    Con éste nuevo álbum, katy nos demuestra que es y seguirá siendo una increíble y fabulosa pop star ya que nos trajo sonidos muy diferentes a lo que ella normalmente estaba acostumbrada (Hablando en comparación con Teenage Dream) además tiene un significado muhco más profundo que Witness.
    En conclusión; Katy nos trajo el álbum obscuro y bailable que todos los fans le han pedido.

    A conjuntura do álbum é perfeita, as músicas, os arranjos, é uma pena que a crítica esteja tentando acabar com a carreira de uma estrela assim na cara de pau ainda sem disfarça, uma estreia espetacular, músicas que contém a alma dela

    One of her best albums yet , shown through hits like never really over , cry about it later and not the end of the world . Katys music seems to age like wine getting better with every era she enters , this album definitely deserves to go number 1 everywhere including billboard

    Com o Smile a Katy retomou seu poder e sua confiança nos proporcionando um álbum extremamente coeso com músicas poderosas como Daisies, Only Love e Resilient, além das suas batidas pop refrescantes e contagiantes que já são uma marca em sua carreira com Champagne Problems, Harleys In Hawaii, Tucked e Teary Eyes.

    Embora em 2016 a Taylor S. e, em 2020, a Lady G. tenham feito um álbum relatando seus problemas pessoas e dificuldades enfrentadas, assim como a Katy com Smile, só a mesma recebeu nota amarela neste site (até o momento), porque a crítica especializada, infelizmente, é tendenciosa e imparcial em suas avaliações...    … 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).
