    Miss Perry you did that, best album of our life 10/10 queen. It’s like “Teenage dream” 2.0 mixed with “PRISM” and a little bit of “One of the boys” and “Witness”. Thanks queen my smile is back!

    Comparando com outras obras dela, essa foi a mais coesa. Todas as musicas servem bem seu propósito e por isso merece 10, ela trabalha para o público e não para críticos.

    I love this album and I can't stop listening to it. It has the typical Katy Perry sound, but it's also different from her other albums. I find it more mature. It's full of Fireworks and Roars, it's what we needed in this historic moment.

    The album starts with Never Really Over, also known as “the hit that got away”, with struggles about self control and happiness.

The 2nd half of the album starts with Not The End Of The World, a Dark-Horse-success-worthy song where Katy states she’s just gonna enjoy the ride, with its peaks and valleys. The album closes the journey with empowering songs, such as Resilient, Only Love and What Makes a Woman, where she says on the last line “There It is Katheryn”, referring to her SMILE. Fan favorites like Tucked and Cry About It Later will bring that only-Katy-Perry fun that we all crave, on a Sunday, riding a Harley(s) in Hawaii or while giving it all on the dance floor.… Expand

    SMILE is everything I needed to hear in one album, It´s the message of hope, resilience, and healing we could all use more of in 2020. I´ve been a witness to your incredible journey since 2012, but seeing you smile this bright has been my favorite part. Katy you nailed it as always!

    I only like two songs. Worse than her last album. So short. She’s lost her touch. Lost it 7 years ago at this point, after prism.

    One of her best, she went to a sound that she made her signature sound. It is an album that takes you through her depression to the mind set she has now. It deserves so much more from "critics" than clearly show how biased they are too. The albums a flawless dance album and deserves so much success.

    These so called 'critics' need to get their subjective ego's out of the way because this pop record is in the top five albums of the year alongside "Chromatica", "Folklore" & "Future Nostalgia".

    There are NO skips on this record and it is just hit after hit after hit. As you can see, literally no one agrees with these critics because the user score is phenomonal.
    In my opinion, it is her best work since "Teenage Dream" and this feels like a more grown up version of that. Once again, 'critics' have lost all their credibility.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although critics did not smile at katy Perry's new album, which they use in a personal and sloppy way to criticize the work, note that their point of view falls more on their career than the work delivered by the singer. But speaking of Smile, I think the richness of pop is great, which Katy wanted to stay within her new job. This is not a negative point, it just escapes the trend that great artists are bringing lately. For a pop album, the songs clash in a simple and cheerful way, fun as katy always demonstrates.… Expand

    Hands down the best piece of work she ever released in her career. Starting off with a banger of Never Really Over, serving bops like Cry About It Later, Tucked, Not The End of The World, Harleys in Hawaii, Daisies, Only Love, and ending with a feminist anthem What Makes a Woman. Truly a perfect pop album.

    gente vim contar um testemunho, a meses venho estado triste e sem vontade de estar alegre e feliz. Ontem quando dei play no álbum simplesmente abri um sorriso e tudo mudou, eu abri o álbum e tive um êxtase, maior do que o da cocaína. E eu disse “essa... essa aquivé pura!”, e foi ali que eu me encontrei, dentro do smile.

    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).
