    This album really made me SMILE. Thank you Katy for this album! This is her best work so far! I really cried when I heard Only Love. This album really speaks to my soul especially the experience with depression that I had last year. The album is also full of bops relatable lyrics and no skips! I also love the meaning and theme behind it. I don't know why the critics gave a low score. TheyThis album really made me SMILE. Thank you Katy for this album! This is her best work so far!

They are just tasteless and love to compare the works of the other artists and hate on a successful woman. Now release Tucked as next single please. Then close the era with Only Love. It can pull a 'The One That Got Away' or 'If I Die Young'. We love you Katy! Thank you for being a light worker to us!… Expand

    Um álbum muito maduro e gostoso de se ouvir, parabéns Katy Perry esse sorriso é espetacular. Recomendo muito, Never Really Over, Cry About It Later, Daisies, Resilient, Tucked, Harleys in Hawaii e One Love vale a pena conferir.

    Katy Perry did an excellent musical job, she never disappoints, this was what we needed for the pandemic, it is an album that talks about how not to give up and always have your hopes high, songs like NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, CRY ABOUT IT LATER and TEARY EYES are a clear example of what the album reveals, Katy's best record work and one of the best albums of the year.

    With a linear story and great pop production, "Smile" might be Katy's best album. Katy brings a message that many of us is needing to hear to go through these hard times. There isn't single skip, and the highlights are definitely "Cry About It Later" and "Not The End Of The World."

    An incredible comeback album and a super positive album that we all needed in times like this. I can't stop listening to this album, it's been on repeat all day and the lyrics and melodies are so pleasing to the ear I can't get them out of my head. In conclusion, the queen of pop has risen and has made a contender for AOTY.

    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).
