    A great name for the album, it fits really well, all the songs are like a roller coaster making you feel a lot of emotions from sadness to happiness, every single song inspires a light on our soul that we can't just understand, when you hear the album you end up crying but with a big smile.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A whole bop, from beginning to end it’s got all the right elements, I also think it’s time we re-evaluate who we actually listen to as far as critics go, I feel like all these old critics are holding on to an old style, and an old formula that is no longer main stream.… Expand

    Katy merece amor después de tanta soledad y tristeza. Aquí muestra como sonreír después de llorar, de haber sido abandonada, de haber sido rechaza, de haber sido humillada. Sin duda puedes encontrar una sonrisa al escuchar el álbum

    Me encanto el álbum, a pesar de ser en solitario, tiene mucho que dar a diferencia de colaboraciones que solo dejan mucho que desear.

    This album is one of her best yet. It's fun and relatable. It's like a mix of all her previous albums with a touch of maturity. All songs are single worthy for their overall quality.

    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).
