    A wonderful album, however I kinda wished she put some innovations -- that would mean a lot to pop music. The first half has nothing new to offer. The second half is where Katy's strongest. Resilient could've been the title track as it reflects more what the album is in general.

    Her best album to date!!!! Love everything about it!! I’m glad to see Katy grow lyrically and sonically while still give her audience reminiscence of her previous albums.

    Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

    You can feel that Katy Perry is telling a story. She doesnt need the charts anymore. Katheryn is happy and we can feel it. #Smile #OustDuterte

    this is the best pop album of the year. Katy Perry spared no effort to provide the best album of the year, she was not kidding that it would be a great album, especially for her fans to return to SMILE.

    SMILE  isn’t just a album, it’s a cultural reset, it’s the oxygen you breathe, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world, it’s art, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted

    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).
