    Album of the year, everyone. With this record, Katy proved that she still is relevant in our current days. We cannot deny the fact that katy is a vulnerable, strong, and queen herself.

    Katy novamente servindo um excelente álbum e cada vez se superando no que entrega. As letras e produção das músicas estão impecáveis. Sem dúvidas SMILE é um dos melhores trabalhos dela ou até mesmo a melhor. Parabéns, Katy. Eu sorri!

    Her best album to date, a complete masterpiece. She really revived her PRISM and Teenage Dreams vibes here, it’s the perfect mixture of both. All the songs in the album are single worthy and they have the potential to reach number one on the Hot 100.

    This album is a whole journey of Katy finding her Smile and it's a pop perfection album full of amazing songs. All of the songs are filled with messages Katy wants to deliver about healing, love etc. Album of the year I could say!

    MASTER PIECE!!! o álbum tem uma sonoridade envolvente e dançante, vai na contramão da mesmice que vemos na paradas atualmente, enquanto todos olham pro passado (anos 80) katy perry ousa e olha pro futuro, o álbum tem muito potencial, é sem dúvida a melhor fase da loirinha da Califórnia

    An amazing concoction from the Teenage Dream Hitmaker. Every song on this album brings its own euphoric and resilient theme, leaving you dancing with those teary eyes, or drinking your champagne problems. A serious contender for Album of the Year. Well done Miss Perry!

    Incredibly cohesive and such good storytelling, almost split into two parts of overcoming a struggle and then enjoying the freedom.

    A trip to find our smiles throughts amazing '80 anthems. Katy Perry proves she's able to move on every pop direction, from rock to bubblegum to dance.

    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).
