    Um álbum pessoal que narra um processo doloroso da Katy Perry, mas sem deixar de lado um minuto sequer o que a fez ser quem ela é: divertidamente pop. É divertido em sua essência e cumpre o que promete: nos deixar mais felizes, nem que seja enquanto o escutamos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album is very good, it sounds somewhat different from the other Perry albums, it has been vocally surpassed and that is very good, the album does not bore you and you can listen to it a thousand times from beginning to end. Good job Mrs. Perry… Expand

    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.

    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

    Her best album, music critics needs to stop with the hate train on her. She gave us bops after bops, from CAIL to Teary Eyes, NTEOTW to Tucked.

    Smile is a perfect Katy Perry Album. The Disco genre is pretty famous at the moment and we couldnt expect less than she giving it her magic touch on her brand new album! It just amazes me how good she is on making bops. She done EVERYTHING she promised. Im not disapointed at all. Im actually surprised.

    Um dos melhores álbuns do ano, serviu em letra, vocais... em tudo, é tão gratificante ver o quão a Katy amanheceu nas suas músicas, se supera a cada álbum

    I don’t get why the critics are bashing this one. She’s shown so much growth throughout her discography and Smile it’s the perfect example of Katy Perry still being quirky and fun yet being a thoughtful adult. #Justice4Smile

    The album is perfect, another quality work integrating the flawless discography. Critical assessment should not be given importance, as it is clear the persecution with Katy since her debut album.

    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).
