    O álbum entrega a mesma fórmula batida de sempre e com uma sonoridade rasa. As músicas não conversam entre si e parece uma coleção de descartes. O fato de muitas músicas do álbum terem sido lançadas há muito tempo atrapalhou bastante

    Sin comentarios en lo personal no me parece nada nuevo, todas las canciones son aburridas y los vídeos de los singles que ha sacado se me hacen básicos, aburridos y eso aún hace que la canción sea más aburrida. Es un álbum que no escuchare, y mucho menos compraría por qué sería gastar mi dinero en algo que no vale la pena.

    É um álbum onde a Katy perry mostrou seu lado mais maduro e conseguiu impressionar, ela trouxa uma chuva de positividade e as musicas realmente se conectam em todos aspectos (romance, família, amor próprio).

    Perfeito como tudo que a Katy se propõe a fazer e a crítica especializada não enxerga. Ainda bem o que da dinheiro são os stream e vendas das yags e não opinião de crítico. Darei muito stream no aoty aqui em casa.

    Genérico, olvidable, patético y pretencioso podrian describir este álbum. Katy Perry no tiene talento y lo demuestra en este dolor de cabeza que llama álbum. Líricas mediocres y produccion plana, salvables 3 tracks y el resto es una bazofia.

    La mera neta se siente bien el álbum en algunos aspectos, pero luego todo el álbum se termina pareciendo en ritmos y aburre al rato
    Es recomendable pero a medias, destaco Smile, Harley's in Hawaii, son las buenas del album a mi parecer

    Cry it about it later is the song that could save this album. Katty Perry as a legend has influenced the pop music with colorful videos, an amazing production and hopelly song lyrics. Unfortunately she got down into a cliché and like she chose disposable songs from her previous albums to put in here.

    Honrando seu apelido mais conhecido, de ''Doceira'', Katy Perry provou mais uma vez ser mestre no lançamento de bolas de açúcar para consumo momentâneo e limitado. A trajetória da cantora sempre se resumiu na produção de canções efêmeras, com intuitos breves. Não possuindo uma esfera de qualidade interna, Perry apenas consegue se resumir aos seus antigos sucessos de carreira, tais como ''Firework'' e ''Dark Horse'', e mais uma vez a cantora se mostra ínfima e nada interessante ao continuar com suas mesmas produções repetitivas e a velha antiga fórmula de pop de sala de espera de consultório odontológico. De um certo modo, Katy tenta implementar uma nova ideia crítica e progressiva em suas letras, tal como a faixa final ''What Makes A Woman'', que embora seja escrita majoritariamente por homens, revela uma camada mais pessoal da cantora. De fato, o clima atual não contribui para maior absorção do trabalho de Katy, tendo em vista que sua rival (ou pelo menos antiga rival), Taylor Swift, segue entregando materias de sua mais profunda complexidade e capacitação lírica. Desse modo, Katy provou mais uma vez ser a artista menos interessante entre suas colegas de geração, em outras palavras, o sorriso amarelou.    … Expand

    There's not a whole lot to say about this album, it's largely forgettable. The only real highlight is Never Really Over, everything else is filled with cliches, generic production, and most of the hooks aren't nearly as catchy as Katy's best work. It's, at best, a half-decent attempt at recreating her old hits, but without any of the spark that made them such great pop music.

    Katy Perry no suele ser mi artista favorita pero su disco no es malo. Creo que su mayor defecto es que dejó muy pocas canciones nuevas y lanzó muchos sencillos desde hace más de un año. Mi favorita siguen siendo NRO pero tiene otras buenas.

    Although some songs are okay, there is no cohesion as an album itself. It looks like the super star Katy Perry used to be in the past, it's not going to have a impact in pop culture if she continues this way. However, "Tucked" "Cry About Later" and "Harley's In Hawaii" are exceptions.

I did kinda like Not the end of the world, but to spend an hour listening to a whole album to find 1 song I might listen to again kind of sucks.

    As one of the most important pop artists in the world, Katy Perry creates a monstrous hype with this album's release. The finish result seems to be tasteless. There are just a few non-single songs that sound catchy but you can barely notice the change between the other songs.
