    Es lo mejor por que no trajo de regreso a su antigua versión, los críticos no saben nada, muchos votan en base a sus preferencias, este disco es perfecto para la pandemia ya que nos hará sonreír y bailar, una buena distracción de todo lo que está pasando.

    Very good album, every song is a bop and deserves to be a single (especially Cry About It Later and Not The End Of The World)

    Un excitante álbum que te lleva a recorrer tus emociones de la mejor manera que lo hace Katy, tiene canciones muy profundas y perfectas para la época que está pasando el mundo, además de las maravillosas letras que posee cada canción . Simplemente fantástico.

    Superó mis expectativas por mucho, de los mejores el año. Puedo decir que es el mejor álbum de Katy Perry, uno maduro y poderoso.

    One word, wonderful, the beautiful lyrics, the incredible vocals or the innovative instrumentals, is the right way to make fun of depression and difficulties in these times, because it is not the end of the world yet, we have to keep dancing even with those teary eyes.

    Definitely the best record of Katy Perry, the songs are completely amazing, are so magical, the lyrics are amazing and powerful. I finally got back my Smile with this record! And Katy do it too, and that's the most important, Katy is happy and all the Katy Cats are happy too. Love this record.

    Katy Perry is wonderful. He continues to deliver incredible and unique works. Each artist can reinvent himself as he sees fit. A toast to the new era with many Smiles. Yeah!

    Every single song is perfect. This album is precious. She's making music for her own pleasure, don't care about the charts, and her songs are so meaningful. Good job Katheryn

    Katy ha crecido y en este álbum se le notan letras mucho más maduras gracias a todo lo que ha vivido, siempre conservando los sonidos que las hacen brillar.

    album of the year along with "ungodly hour", "folklore" and "future nostalgia", support women who are boycotted by men (even women) who think they are superior at women who work hard just because they have a degree in criticism, which they don't value and don't honestly criticize

    This is by far Katys best album. the album starts with Never Really Over which even after a year of being released it's as fresh and good as new. she takes us on a journey of heartbreak, insecurity and depression only to refind herself and find gratitude on the little things. finally she finishes off the album with what makes a woman and the phrase "there it is katheryn" proving that sheThis is by far Katys best album. the album starts with Never Really Over which even after a year of being released it's as fresh and good as new. she takes us on a journey of heartbreak, insecurity and depression only to refind herself and find gratitude on the little things. finally she finishes off the album with what makes a woman and the phrase "there it is katheryn" proving that she found herself!

    Smile is a great album, maybe the best one from Katy. Good lyrics, good beats, good production. A evolution of Katy Perry. Who dislike it it's not a pop music fan or just wanna throw some hate on the kind pop star she is. And we all know the critics will never recognize the talented and awesome singer that Katheryn has always been!!

    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).
