    A sonically great album! Perry delivers with songs that feel both memorable and timeless.

    Very easy to listen from beginning to end.

    Album of the year, this is a true work of art. I felt in a night of fun, drinks and a lot of dancing in the darkness of the colored lights of a disco

    Hannah Mylrea is a tasteless pig and should not work for @NME, same goes for Leah Greenblatt who works at @EW.
    @HannahMylrea & @Leahbats on twitter are both trash critics & stuck in the past. there’s
    no evolution, no growth just the same old boring key strokes. i’d suggest their employers seek out new tasteful ears as those hags aren’t generating anything but negativity and awful taste.

    La evolución de Katy desde un circuito de música cristiana con un talento sobrenatural con la esperanza de convertirse en una máquina de éxitos hasta el sabio Smile en sus mejores momentos continúa inspirando a las nuevas generaciones a seguir con el sueño adolescente.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esté es un álbum muy pronto, un álbum rápido y eso es lo único de malo (por decir)
    Es muy versátil, las malas críticas son de hate hacia una extraordinaria artista.
    Amé el disco, desde su portada, las decisiones maduras que tomó, la imagen que se creó y la sonrisa que se ganó, sin duda un gran álbum en el 2020, sin descartar a otras grandes estrellas pop.
    Te llega la letra y sus sonidos pegadizos.. es buno, muy hueno es Increíble.
    Magnífico 9.8 xq debió tardar mas:((

    This is the pop album that we all needed. It is an album with a very good production. It is very good. There are very, very good songs. It changes style but at the same time they stay with theirs. The best and is the album of the year.

    Es un álbum magnífico, Katy lo entregó todo. Sinceramente es uno de los mejores álbumes del 2020 y No entiendo a algunos críticos, dan “críticas” pero en lugar de enfocarse en el álbum se enfocan en la vida personal de Katy, en fin el álbum es excelente.

    she made us dance to constructive music, nothing to get bored. she is faithful to her gender and her fans since she is governed by what she likes and not what the media wants.

    Smile Is the best musical art work from Katy Perry, She's coming back with an old Katy's style with sounds and vibes of Prism and Teenage Dream but we can hear a new Katy Style that can make you dance with songs like Never Really Over or Cry About it Later, Her vocals are incredible on this Album, Katy worked so hard for 2 years in this Album and we can see it on the iconic visuals.

    A failure of an album. An empty, lifeless popstar that tried her best to recreate her magnum opus - Teenage Dream, but fell flat on her face.

    Phenomenal. Katy as an artist really stepped outside of her comfort zone showing us another side of “Katy Perry”. The tracks tells all the stories perfectly and straightforward.

    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).
