    The real difference between the "specialized" criticism is that the public really knows how to evaluate the smile (these mice instead of evaluating the album do is talk about her life or talk about past albums, this is disgusting and disrespectful) about the smile this album it is by far one of the best albums of that year, super cohesive, cheerful, fun, pleasant to hear and dancing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best album of her career, Katy Perry brings a great message in this new album that will captivate every listener. Teary Eyes, Cry About It Later, Not The End Of The World, Tucked, Only Love, Resilient have everything to turn the album into the second Teenage Dream era. His sounds experienced in songs are incredible and amazing. Katy Perry is back❤… Expand

    It's an album where most of the people can relate to, specially with everything that has been happening this year. Each song on it has a story and a message to tell, I'd say it's her best album, is about finding her smile back and I'm pretty sure if you listened it you will not regret about doing it.

    This is a skipless album! Everything is good and Katy did it all by herself, no features, her is just enough!

    Smile was all about moving on, rising up, contentment, being loved again, and self-discovery. It's a wonderful work of music. YOU DID A GREAT JOB KATY!

    One of her best! It truly puts a smile on your face. It makes you want to dance in the kitchen while cooking and of course in the shower. Not one song is bad.

    Smile traz a tona o pop tão querido pelos fãns, fazendo uma releitura de singles já consagrados por ela, entregando tudo que fãns gostariam de escutar. Faixas como Cry About It Later e Not The End Of The World são de fato o futuro do pop para Katy Perry

    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).
