    Personally I think it is a good comeback for Katy Perry, this is one of her best albums, it has a lot of potential and I really liked all the songs that this album presents, although at first I did not feel very convinced of what it was going to be about. the album, in the end I was surprised with the result and I'm very happy with that.

    Si la crítica buscara evaluar la lírica de cada composición de este álbum, quizás su predisposición a repudiar un álbum tan bueno hubiese sido enterrada. El mensaje que nos deja Katy en este álbum es asombroso, espero que personas que hayan pasado por una situación de tristeza que estén en busca de su sonrisa simplemente lo tomen como guía.

    Katy has given us a JEWEL where she lets us know how she managed to overcome her depression and regain her beautiful smile and that is the message she wants to give her, she does not care about criticism and all that only underestimates things. I who love Katy and I am her faithful Katycat since 2010 I was very satisfied and impressed with this work for me, the album of the year does not say more

    This is pop perfection. And I still don't get why most critics have always been so harsh to Katy. What else do you want from her?

All the songs has a meaningful lyrics... and you can learn from them. Honestly “only love” changed me... the lyrics in that songs.... are just AMAZING. I recommend for everyone this album, it’s just a MASTERPIECE … Expand

    Es muy bueno, ella sólo puede ser una estrella en su propia letras. Haga lo que haga la mayoría ya no le está dando la oportunidad. Espero algún día le den esa nueva oportunidad y verán que vale la pena ten8er en la industria a Katy Perry.

    Siendo fan de Gaga por los últimos 10 años, de Taylor en los últimos 9 y Katy en los últimos 8.
    Se que no es el mejor trabajo de Katy, las canciones son buena pero hay una que otra fácil de olvidar (caso de Harleys In Hawaii y What Makes A Woman) pero hay canciones que pueden ser todos unos hits (Cry About It Later, Tucked y Champagne Problems) con una buena promoción y apoyo de radios    Siendo fan de Gaga por los últimos 10 años, de Taylor en los últimos 9 y Katy en los últimos 8.

    Katy Perry did a great job calling this album “ Smile “. This album contain a lot of sweet songs and it deserves more recognition and us as katycats we should support more her music because she’s giving us art and she deserves the world. Katy been through a lot and it’s time to see her SMILE again.

    This album has everything, and people who say they don't like it are because they haven't finished listening to it. Honestly, the lyrics and the beats that he gives to the songs make them very good. For my part I loved the album, it is excellent

    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).
