    This is a beautiful album. We can see a new side of Katy Perry, and the travel that she through to be happy, and most of all, to get her smile back.

    La combinacion de ritmos de sus eras "TEENAGE DREAMS" y "PRISM" nos trae a un mundo muy increible en eel que te podras identificar con almenos una cancion, los "criticos" no supieron valorar lo que realmente es musica y prefieren el genero "Urbano" como es Ban Bunny que su musica no es agrado de nadie pero bueno, 10/10 a SMILE

    After a not very good album, Katy Perry this time delivers really worth hearing a lot, highlighting Only Love

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Minha nota específica é 8,3; álbum subestimado; ela evoluiu pós-Prism, desde Witness ficou óbvio que critícas maliciosas e risíveis foram propositais. Ressalto sua composição intíma e matura sobre ficar bem consigo, sobretudo, suas linhas criativas e sutís. Vocalmente suave, forte e confessional; Só há falhas nos instrumentais como no meio do disco, mas, nada que impeça audiência de sentir os ares leves, as lágrimas, e o sorriso de Katy.… Expand

    The album itself just really sucks, the best tracks, if you can call them that, are the ones already released ages before the album So there's nothing new and interesting about it, no reason to seek the complete, and traumatic, album experience

Its for hope and finding your smile back. You crickets are dumb, giving this album a low rate? What kind of an ear do you have? **** crickets. Imagine an album that has a positive vibes gives a negative feedbacks by stupid crickets.… Expand

    Smile cumpre seu papel ao demonstrar a jornada de Katy Perry de sua depressão ao encontro de seu sorriso. As faixas são organizadas de modo coêso, que leva o ouvinte a obter uma experiência sobre a jornada de Perry.

    This is a masterpiece, so much mature and funny, Katy Perry comes to remind us that she's the radio queen with all these hits.

    Biggest flop of her career. She's trapped on her Teenage Dream era thinking her fans are still children.

    Katy did what she knows best: making dance music with powerful messages, catchy and smart lyrics. So glad that she left behind everything bad from her past era and got that smile back. Everything we need in this quarantine, and as a fan of pop music i'm so satisfied.

    this album is so diverse, everyone get one favourite out from it, some has the bubble gum pop feeling from her previous masterpiece, this is a renaissance album of Katy, a fusion of Witness, Prism and TD

    The album was not terribly bad, but after a while it became very generic. Like music you’d hear in a Forever 21. It was also forgettable at times, not a lot of the messages stuck. But overall not bad.

    "The relentless spangle on Smile can seem jarring as Perry attempts to both nod to and avoid the pandemic-shaped elephant in the room. “It’s no funeral we’re attending,” she scoffs on “Not the End of the World.” There’s a song about postponing crying to go out and dance; there’s a separate track about dancing while crying.

    Just 4 good songs, the rest with boring rhythms, even though the lyrics are cute, sorry K

    just bad, the songs aren’t any new and even for Katy Perry, the songs can become boring since the first listen.

    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).
