    Album of the year, this is a true work of art. I felt in a night of fun, drinks and a lot of dancing in the darkness of the colored lights of a disco

    A simply amazing comeback! This album is quintessentially catchy Katy Perry pop, the tracks are polished and have great arrangements. Lyrically it also does not disappoint. Tracks like "Not The End of The World" and "Only Love" bring exactly the message we all needed right now. It really brought Katy's smile back ( and mine too) for sure! Loved it!

    Arte, lamentablemente los críticos siempre quieren escupir su trabajo pero aquí está el público demostrando que Katy es una leyenda. Me encanta el ritmo, todo lo que uno no sabe qué necesita hasta que lo oye ❤️

    El quinto trabajo discografico de la californiana cumple su cometido y nos hace sonreir, es una combinacion de sonidos frescos y coros pegajosos dando somo resultado uno de los mejores album pop del año y de la carrera de Katy.

    Sem dúvidas um dos melhores trabalho da Katy! No skips. O álbum trás os pop perfection “never really over”, “cry about it later” e “teary eyes” começando com o pé direito!

    O álbum é perfeito dentro do que ele se propõe. Katy Perry se mostra madura, remodelada, resiliente e dona de si. Misturando sentimentos entre tristeza e alegria, o álbum nos arranca sorrisos e surpreende muitas vezes. Destaque para Tucked, que é como um passeio pela confeitaria da Katy Perry, uma musica açucarada com um ar retrô que me remete a Katy Perrydo TD e OOTB.

    This album is a masterpiece, the versatility, her voice, the way the songs are line up and the beautiful end with her saying: "there it is, katheryn" I Love it

    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).
