    Álbum da carreira... Músicas coesas e cheias de energia. Cada música merece ser um single. Você se superou, Katy Perry!

    It's an incredible álbum sonically and productionwise. Not too bubble gum pop and not even too EDMish, a brand-new approach for Katy.

    It´s so terrible that it doesn't even deserve a review. I can only say that at least this album is better than Witness (and that's not a compliment) and there are two good songs like Never Really Over and Cry About it Later. Katy Perry should really think about retiring, because she's adding literally nothing to the music industry. "but she's indie now". No, she's not even that.

    One of the bigest come backs in this year, this is perfection pop, every song has an original taste.

    Es un álbum realmente fabuloso, Katy Perry marca una diferencia enorme al entregar un álbum tan personal, sin duda todas las canciones narran un fragmento de vida y superación de las adversidades, no pudo haber llegado un álbum tan maravilloso en mejor momento.

    Katy Perry consegue contar toda uma história com apenas 37 minutos de álbum. Desde a sua recuperação em “Never Really Over” até a última frase do álbum “there it is, Katheryn”, todas as músicas, apesar de não serem originais sonoramente, possuem sua própria identidade ainda que faça alusão a outros álbuns e hits da cantora, tendo como exemplo “Not the End of the World” a qual seria a novaKaty Perry consegue contar toda uma história com apenas 37 minutos de álbum.

Com batidas marcantes e refrões chicletes, o “Smile” traz o melancólico das letras imergidas em instrumentos de cordas, sintetizadores e disco muito bem produzidos. Como prometido pela própria cantora, o álbum é capaz de estampar um sorriso no rosto de cada pessoa que o escuta.… Expand

    O álbum entrega muita diversidade e traz músicas com temas bem introspectivos.

    This album is perfection in the form of music. Katy managed to excel once again.

    Esse álbum é simplesmente sensacional. Começamos com o hino NRO nos trazendo nesse novo mundo e em busca do seu sorriso. O álbum é coesa, brilhante e tudo o que os katycats estavam aguardando. Obrigado por nos mostrar o caminho para sorrir.

    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).
