    Em Smile, Katy Perry mostra uma maturidade sonoro que explora o pop através de batidas dançantes e envolventes, sem precisar estar presa em seu maior sucesso - Teenage Dream.
    Na companhia de letras que remetem sua trajetória em busca do seu sorriso, Katy Perry mostra que até em tempos turbulentos, sua essência em criar um pop de qualidade nunca será perdida.

    This album is the perfect example of: concept, cohesion and quality, running away from any generic album, the Smile album presents authenticity! Most importantly, it connects with whoever listens and conveys your message. Who has never had to put a smile on their face to not show their pain and their problems to other people?

Lyrically there is so much depth and a lot of important and powerful messages, especially at this time! Critics opinions are not professional and the subjectivity means nothing.

    This album is amazing! I'm addicted to all the songs, I really can't stop listening. Man, Katy Perry is perfect and I love this album with all my soul. The beat of the songs, the lyrics, I love everything without exception.

    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).
