    Álbum coerente, alegre, SORRIDENTE! Infelizmente essa tal "mídia crítica especializada" criou vários caminhos e situações pra detonar a Katy, que fez tudo nessa quarentena e ainda mais GESTANTE! Esses lixos criaram essa rixa com a Perry desde Teenage Dreams e felizmente É O ÁLBUM MAIS VENDIDO NA HISTÓRIA DOS EUA, COM VÁRIAS PLATUNA E ESSES LIXOS NÃO ACEITAM TANTO TALENTO...

    Well, maybe the best album of KP. PERIOD! So dance, inspiring, mature and motivational. The best vocals of the whole career. She doesn't need to prove anything else, as she is OWN pop.

    i was amazed since the first second of listening cry about it later, this album is a reflection of Katy's self-esteem nowadays. it's so comforting knowing she's okay. she makes us feel this way too, the rhythms are everything, the choirs exquisite. Katy really lifted up her music, the industry just hates her, she deserves better reviews

    An incredible work from Katy. Definitely a step up from Witness. Her song-writting, her production, her storytelling throughout the album and her delivery are absolutely contagious. An extremely well crafted body of work.

    From Never Really Over to Not the End of The World and going through Cry About it Later, she's giving us that nostalgia trip, taking us through their pure pop style from her past records.

    An immaculate Pop album.

Tracks such as Never Really Over, Cry About It Later, Not The End Of The World, and Only Love showcase a new side of Perry's abilities in lyricism with their relatability albiet still exhibiting the inspirational themes and message Perry is known for. Other tracks such as Tucked and Harleys In Hawaii focus more on showcasing that infectious Pop sound Perry is so excellent at creating while still maintaining the album's core theme.

    Katy Perry grew up so much. One of the most iconic artists of all time. I'm so proud of her.

    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).
