    The best album of the year! Highlight Cry about it later and champagne problems. Super intimate and touching lyrics, no doubt Katy is one of the best songwriters of her generation.
    The journey she spent battling depression brought a lot of baggage to a beautiful album. The fact that she is the executive producer alone still gives the music more power. I just loved it!

    This is literally one of the best album of 2020. Katy Perry did that being pregnant during a pandemic. Great production, great sounds and beautiful lyrics. This is so inspiring and brilliant. This is a 10/10.

    BUT the metascore rating is way TOO LOW! Please, be more focused on the music while doing those "critic reviews". Don't drag the artist down. Do not remark the past. Do not put

    Just perfect.
    Opening it with Never really over (I will not forget nor forgive how you left this bop flop) following of Cry about it later (my favorite song) and Teary eyes just it says what she's going to bring on the table.
    Smile and Daisies make sense inside the record, bad choices of singles. Once you get to champagne problems you know is your second favorite record from this queen

    What do you get after Witness the Album that mothered Chained To The Rhythm, Swish Swish and Bon Appetit, SMILE is the answer. An album that fans are loving while critics are hating, The dedication put into making the album is so evident and it is also obvious Katy perry stuck to her lane and is conscious that overdoing it could create a hostile environment that is not worth living in.What do you get after Witness the Album that mothered Chained To The Rhythm, Swish Swish and Bon Appetit, SMILE is the answer. An album that fans are loving while critics are hating, The dedication put into making the album is so evident and it is also obvious Katy perry stuck to her lane and is conscious that overdoing it could create a hostile environment that is not worth living in.

    A tale of Self Empowerment, Self-care, Imperfect love stories that eventually become mutual and One, She power aspects are coined into songs worth spending 36 minutes listening to. The production of the songs borrowing heavily from Katy's past projects this is so evident because you get the Teenage Dream/Witness/Prism vibes while listening to the songs.

    Is it a Good Album? to be honest it is a great Album one of those few albums released this year that don't have skips every song is unique and tells a story of what has been happening in the pop star's life after Witness.

    Katy Perry lança aqui o seu quinto álbum, onde vemos uma Katy mais madura. Smile soa como um final e ao mesmo tempo como um início de uma nova era para Katy.

Smile soa como um final e ao mesmo tempo como um início de uma nova era para Katy. Aqui ela mostra todo esse processo, de quando ela ficou triste, de quando ela foi resiliente, até encontrar seu sorriso de novo. Katy ousa muito nesse álbum, musicalmente falando ele não é tão grandioso, mas como um bom álbum pop ele se sobressai de uma maneira incrível. Não soa como Teenage Dream e nem como o PRISM, Smile é único. A cantora aqui evolui como pessoa, e isso é extremamente importante na carreira de um artista. Acredito que seu quinto álbum de estúdio não é um trabalho que vai evoluir ela artisticamente falando, mas é um álbum extremamente importante pra ela e pra fase atual da vida dela, desde o Witness até aqui, a gente vê como Katy Perry conseguiu sorrir novamente após uma era tão difícil. Então, Smile é um ponto final, ela fecha o conturbado Witness. Acredito que veremos o resultado disso nos próximos trabalhos da Katy, onde ela vai estar mais forte do que nunca. O novo álbum de Katy não soa como um filler, e sim como necessário para o momento. Smile é como o fermento do bolo, o ingrediente que faltava e o mais importante, onde fará ela crescer, e a partir disso, veremos como ficou esse bolo de sonhos e doçuras no seu próximo passo. Eu definitivamente encontrei meu sorriso também. Expand

    I think Katy Perry just redeemed herself. I was kinda worried about her recent single and worry that this album will underperform like “Witness” or the background instrumentals will sound a little bit dull like her previous record. HOWEVER, the present of “Cry About It Later” and “Not the End of the World” just WOW me, the later one especially feels like “Dark Horse” and “Black Widow”(alsoI think Katy Perry just redeemed herself.

HOWEVER, the present of “Cry About It Later” and “Not the End of the World” just WOW me, the later one especially feels like “Dark Horse” and “Black Widow”(also written by Perry) are having a baby, the background instrumental is powerful that is rare in recent pop music industry.

    On the other hand, “Only Love” and “ What Makes A Woman” show the fragile side of Perry, they perfectly demonstrate how versatile Perry is.

The singles do not do it justice, however (Perhaps that lack of promotion would have made for a better outcome). But not a single song is a skip on the record.

    Ella llego a demostrar que las críticas malas ya no la harán perder su sonrisa, es un álbum con mezclas de Prism, Teenage Dream, es un campo que ella sabe bien como dominar.

    This album is great, definitely one of her best albums, people just keep on hating her and her music because the internet says so, but these haters are giving praise to those trashy music nowadays with absolutely no content and no story at all.

    I'm not even a Katy Perry's fan but I just love it. Not the End of the World it's my favorite one because it really gives me The Weeknd vibes.

    Katy Perry é uma palhaça triste não só nas fotos de “Smile”. Seu mundo colorido já foi desconstruído em baladas emotivas e no documentário "Part of Me", mas agora ganha um álbum feito com essa intenção. Smile sem dúvidas é um dos melhores álbuns do ano, e o melhor de Katy. Ta aí um lançamento do pop que não olhou pros anos 80 e sim pro futuro!!

    Smile is Katy Perry’s best album. It has surprisingly beaten Teenage Dream and Prism, and it deserves to be recognized as one of the best works of 2020 (if not THE best). It’s a shame critics prefer being harsh without any reason, because this is a masterpiece that needs to be heard by everyone.

    One of Katy's best albums. if not her best! Catchy pop music with beautiful and empowering lyrics. Katy was alawys hated on by music critics unfairly.
    Such a great album ♥

    This is the best album ever...there are a couple songs that they deserve being recognized and known by the whole world, Teary Eyes' the best song ever and one of my favorites from the album, such a masterpiece, a piece of Art. Katy gave us her best, so we should be thankful with 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).
