    Katy finally found hersel artistically, this is what she loves to do, this is what she knows how to do better, It does not matter if she's always been like this because this is what she feels good doing. It is a perfect pop album with influences of the 80s and eurodance kind of sonha. Her best body of work so far.

    Katy never let me down and in this time wasn't different. Smile is a complete album, with a clear narrative line and with dancing rhythms and motivational lyrics, a product of the depressive period Katy passed through in the last year. Smile is a great album and deserves to be highly valued.

    Katy gave us a reason to smile through the **** we've been going through. She delivered bangers to bangers, track to track, skipless piece of work. Her best album to date.

    Someone can says that this album doesn't have bop or killing track but this album also doesn't have worst track. All tracks have their own power and deep meaning that can be united under title 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).
