    The album is a masterpiece! She was able to build the perfect tracklist, you can absolutely connect with her and the beautiful story she tells while enjoying one of the best albums of the year. I’m proud of being her fan.

    Smile lacks an engaging production, something that screams passion, same with Perry’s writing, instead of hovering on the surface of the emotion she tries to provoke, she could dig deep and straightup go literal with the happiness, hope, and resilience she wants to project.

    Great production, great songs, the album has an amazing sound to it, every song feels fresh to listen to. The best songs on the album easily are Tucked & Cry About It Later.

    This album is a jewel, one of the few jewels that you can find in this last decade of music, each song has a life of its own and makes you fall in love with the story that sadly some people (including myself) have gone through but at the end of the road we can always find our own smile and laugh with a couple of champagne glasses so what cry about it later tonight I'm havin fun.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Smile, é diferente de tudo que ela nos apresentou ao longo dos anos. "One of the Boys" veio discreto, mas chamou a atenção da rainha do pop, Madonna com a música "Ur So Gay". O grande bum do público foi com o aclamado "Teenage Dream" simplesmente memorável com seu mundo doce e lindos sonhos adolescentes. "Prism" é um álbum mais maduro com singles como "Roar", "Unconditionally", "Birthday" e "Dark Horse".. sempre com a videografia impecável. Witness injustiçado pela crítica especializada e grande parte dos fãs, afinal, Katy Perry flertou com a atual situação política do seu país e mostrou q não apenas um rostinho bonito com suas músicas dançantes e merece muito reconhecimento mas vocês não estão prontos para essa conversa. E finalmente, o tão aguardado "Smile" é perfeito com cada faixa em seu devido lugar e particularmente eu não mudaria absolutamente nada. "Never Really Over" carro chefe de Smile, "Harleys in Hawaii", "Daises", "Smile" (música que dá nome ao álbum) e espero que "Cry About It Later" e "What Makes A Woman" também se tornem singles. Parabéns Katy Perry! Expand

    Com produções cativantes e letras chicletes Smile consegue surpreender. Nesse trabalho podemos dizer que Katy Perry entregou um album digno de prêmios e aclamação, podemos dizer que esse é de longe seu melhor momento na indústria musical.

    Este álbum no es lo mejor del 2020, incluso Witness suena mejor que esto. Una canción salva a todo el álbum.

    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).
