    Just enjoyed cry about it later, Katy has to reinvent herself, try new things, explore more.

    This album is boring. Flop. The era is messy. All the ratings is out of charts. All songs is flop. Good luck katyrat. She better retire and take care of her new born baby then.

    The critics are right... this album is no good. Expected more from Katy, but I guess her rise is over.

    Feels empty, repetitive, full of pop cliches, not innovative at all, since Teeenage dream is pop perfection i have to put Katy at a high standart, she can do better

    Es triste ver las críticas que está recibiendo Katy, pero todo eso le pasa por tener fans tan ridículos y odiosos.

    Me gustaría que un día Katy nos de joyas como The One That Got Away, es verdad que se intenta reinventar pero desde hace daños da lo mismo, mismas temáticas y nada nuevo, estoy cansado.

    This album is not good enough, just sounds like a old album of Katy. and actually she is not talented.

    El álbum no es nada emocionante, es fresco, es genial, pero de ahí no pasa, solo encontramos 2 canciones geniales y las demás son relleno....no puedo decir más

    She stops trying to keep up with the Halseys and happily defaults to the fizzy bombast that is her stadium-size safety zone. [A

    Este álbum apesta de principio o fin desde la portada uno se da cuenta que este álbum es asqueroso en toda su expresión y con ello acompañado de sus gatas calleras que fijen gustarle hace dar a conocer que este album fue el fracaso del año aunque esperándose de Katy Prerry se puede esperar afiis lagrimitas

    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).
