    I think it's the best album in this year so far. Cry About It Later, Never Really Over and Only Love are my favs. What Makes A Woman slaps too. I'm glad she's back.

    She is the best and deserves all the love in the world! It’s so far one of her best albuns, mainly because she has just given birth to a beautiful baby, and for the time we are living, it definitely fulfills the role of bringing a smile back.

    Great album it was a 9.5 yesterday. The swiftie base got made it had a better rating that folklore so they wanted to sabotage this score. It’s fine it just shows the scum that is the Taylor swift fan base. I mean they threaten to kill critics who give her albums low scores. It’s crazy that Taylor hasn’t come out and told her base to stop doing that.

    This album has great singles and inspiring writing. On the negative, so far it seems like there’s not as much replay value as I expected with the new tracks. The rollout was confusing and messy. She also left one of the best songs off the standard edition, Small Talk. I believe she left that song off the album due to poor feedback from fans.

    这是我听过的最糟糕的专辑。我不认识凯蒂·佩里。凯蒂·佩里 发生了什么，但是无论发生什么都一定破坏了她的创造力。即使是八月份发行，这也是2020年最糟糕的专辑，我讨厌它。她曾经是2010年的出色流行歌星，但她失去了魔力 。在排行榜上也表现不佳哈哈哈！

    Very well produced , nice vocals , amazing cover art designs but not an improvement from witness . I personally loved witness i know some people didn't . Witness proved Katy can do so much better and more but this album minus some very good songs feels extermely generic and made to please audience . So happy for her and her new family but she can do so much better .

    Un álbum en el que Perry nos transporta a sus eras Teenage Dream y Prism, con un poco de madurez, pero sin abandonar su sonido tan característico. Es un disco correcto, que no tiene mayores pretenciones.

    With Smile Katy Perry gets her smile back in a just amazing album with catchy songs that will make you smile and dance. Katy explores different styles and aesthetics and it's just amazing! I'm really sad that her label didn't promote the album because it's a bop.

    Definitivamente éste álbum es una historia de depresión resumida, puedes sentir la tristeza de Katy, cada palabra, sin duda es el hermano de PRISM, madurez, letra auténtica, canciones bailables y que te dejan algo de que pensar. Sin duda es increíble. Y la estética de circo inspirada en Cher es increíble aunque prefiero el concepto original de los setentas

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never Really Over: 7.5
    Me parece una ccanción muy bailable y adictiva. La letra de un amor que nunca acabó pero también se puede tomar como ella con los katycats después de Witness.
    Cry About it Later: 7.0
    A pesar de ser el simple track más popular por parte de los fans por su buen ritmo, personalmente no me agrada por su pobreza en lírica, mas le doy mérito por su buen ritmo y técnica vocal de Katy.
    Teary Eyes: 6.0
    Parece el remix feliz de una balada triste, no suena bien cómo empieza con muchos "Have you ever.." como si fuera una clase de inglés xd. Sin embargo, el final fue muy bueno, con sus "keep on dancing", ahí sí encaja bien esa felicidad que se guardó Katy en casi toda la canción.
    Daisies: 7.0
    Esta canción suena muy bien, es como un Teary Eyes pero mejorado, ahí sí se muestra las ganas de salir adelante y su instrumental acompaña muy bien la voz de pesar que se puede escuchar al inicio y cuando Katy dice "Daises, daisies, daisies", y el final que muestra la energía y fuerza que tiene.
    Resiliente: 8.0
    Personalmente, tiene el mejor vídeo en TSS, a parte que la letra muestra mucha resilencia, fuerza y optimismo por parte de Katy, aunque no tenga el ritmo bailable de NRO, creo que su melodía y ritmo es aceptable, algo que quiero decir es que Katy pudo aprovechar mejor su técnica vocal.
    Not The End of the world: 8.0
    Ignorando su vídeo, el cual le hizo baja puntuación, pero no tanto ya que me parece aceptable considerando que fue después de dar a luz; esta sería la 2° mejor canción del álbum, con sonidos trap/pop muy fuertes y el coro impecable, su letra le da mucho empoderamiento a Katy, y letras como "si el cielo se cae, me agarro de una estrella" son las que Katy debería de componer más.
    Smile: 7.0
    Su vídeo fue muy buena, teniendo significado un tanto personal como las cosas que hacen feliz a Katy: Orlando Bloom, Daisy Dove Bloom, vencer los miedos y volver a tener a su fandom. Sin duda un gran vídeo, y la letra también es aceptable, sobre la canción, el instrumental se repite un poco pero la melodía me gustó, y combina bien musicalmente con la temática de clown.
    Champagne Problems: 7.0
    Me gusta como trata de cantar sobre los problemas de la relación, pero que sin importar eso siguen juntos, suena como a Orlando Bloom pero quién sabe. Su música es muy buena, bailable y su video en TSS dejó mucho que desear, el outfit de Katy fue hermoso, pero no hay más que ella bailando.
    Tucked: 7.5
    Su sonido es muy bailable, muy ella, amo cómo juega con la comida tratando de hablar de su dieta pero mostrándolo como una relación de infidelidad, y su final tiene un buen plot twist, por algo ella es la reina de los vídeos y Tucked la mejor de Smile. La técnica vocal fue agradable y estable.
    Harleys In Hawaii: 8.5
    Esta canción es muy sensual, y a pesar de ser lenta, es bailable y agradable de escuchar, muy pegajosa por su coro. El vídeo fue muy bueno, aunque pudo ser mejor. La voz de Katy se luce bien.
    Only Love: 7.0
    Una canción triste, lenta pero te da a pensar sobre el amor en estos tiempos, sobre como una persona no aprecia a todos, se vuelve más triste si decimos que esta fue una carta de Katy en sus malos momentos, pero logró superar eso y tener una sonrisa, hubiera sido un buen outro.
    What Makes A Woman: 7.0
    El vídeo fue bueno, me hizo llorar por todas esas historias, en especial lo hermoso que es la maternidad mostrada en TSS. La canción pudo tener un mejor ritmo, pero es aceptable para la letra que tiene de apreciar a la mujer por ser un perfecto misterio como ella dice, ella es feliz finalmente, por ser una mujer libre, por ser madre y ser ella misma.

    Smile: 6.5 / A pesar que el álbum nos trata de contar un tipo de historia de la sanación hacia la felicidad mediante el amor, siento que los ritmos no fueron iguales entre sí y la letra no resuelve la duda, parece como una playlist de ella si no sabes que es un álbum, sin embargo este ábum no fue malo después de todo, solo necesitaba tener un mejor enfoque y una temática ya planteada para TODAS las canciones.

    Fresh and funny. Katy Perry created an album that turns sadness into happiness - the lyrics are about loving yourself and living your life in spite of what people say about you. It doesn't need depth, the message is clear and necessary, specially during times like this. We've been going through some dark moments and this album is a gust of fresh air.

O SMILE conseguiu trazer de volta nosso sorriso em meio a uma pandemia e isto é incrível.… Expand

    The first 3 tracks (NRO, CAIL, TE) flow with each others PERFECTLY, lyrics are kinda repetitive in both Teary Eyes and CAIL but I’m not that mad about it.

    NTEOTW is a hit song material, a chart topper to say the least.. I think it should be pushed as a single. Smile is awful, the only skip on the album. Champagne Problems’ production is so pleasing, I LOVE the verses and the bridge.

    Tucked is one of my faves on the album. Harleys in Hawaii not being pushed and promoted is a case of the FBI because its probably one of the best songs in her career. Only Love is such a good ballad-mid tempo song, I don’t get the hate. What Makes A Woman is an ok ballad, I wasn’t expecting something special, should’ve never been released earlier.. such a dumb move.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. É o álbum mais maduro e transgressor mas ao mesmo tempo na excêntrica Katy. Ela unifica o melhor de tudo o que absorveu na carreira, a Katy Perry colorida e menininha com a mulher que tinha o que falar em Witness e trouxe tudo em um álbum alegre e vibrante.… Expand

    Una obra maestra, y su mensaje es perfecto para la situación actual por la que el mundo entero atraviesa. Entre más oscura la noche, las estrellas brillan más, y la oscuridad que vivió Katy tuvo su desenlace en este grandioso disco.

    her best album. some of her best lyrical content, production, cohesiveness. the “critics” were harsh, rude and judged Katy as a person over the actual quality of the music. read the reviews and you’ll see. teary eyes, never really over, cry about it later and not the end of the world are amongst some of her best songs in her discography. support Katy, support smile!

    Arguably Katy's best album; it takes influences from all of her previous works in what feels like an accumulation and the end of a chapter of her life, one that she started in 2008 with one of the boys. One thing that ticks me off is the production on "Resilient"- a song that has the best bridge she's ever written.

    This album is magical and perfect for the current moment, it would only be even better if there was no pandemic so we could dance at parties, but why not dance at home ?! Katy overcame everything and this is the best record of her career. An objective and clear album is not about being 100% happy, it is about overcoming and learning to live.

    Katy Perry shows that she can improve herself without having to change the musical style, Katy reinvents herself from the core of her perfect pop rock music, we only had to listen to the album to know that critics hate her, predisposing herself to unfairly qualify her wrong.
    This is the best album of 2020.

    Definitely an amazing album and now I'll have to make a hard choice between Witness and Smile to decide which one is my favorite from Katy. Each day I love Katy more and more, now f*ck the critics and the haters, she doesn't need to prove anything anymore. She's an icon, she's a legend, she's the moment.

    A lot of great music like Harleys in Hawaii, the album it's amazing but just because it's katy perry the critics are so mean with her, they say it's the same thing, every album, but I listened a new concept of katy perry with this and I love it

    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).
