    The real difference between the "specialized" criticism is that the public really knows how to evaluate the smile (these mice instead of evaluating the album do is talk about her life or talk about past albums, this is disgusting and disrespectful) about the smile this album it is by far one of the best albums of that year, super cohesive, cheerful, fun, pleasant to hear and dancing.

    It's an album where most of the people can relate to, specially with everything that has been happening this year. Each song on it has a story and a message to tell, I'd say it's her best album, is about finding her smile back and I'm pretty sure if you listened it you will not regret about doing it.

    This is a skipless album! Everything is good and Katy did it all by herself, no features, her is just enough!

    Smile was all about moving on, rising up, contentment, being loved again, and self-discovery. It's a wonderful work of music. YOU DID A GREAT JOB KATY!

Descrevendo-o como uma espécie de “luz no fim do túnel” que a ajudaria a recuperar a alegria de viver – e também serviria de guia para seus fãs -, Perry aproveitou sua gravidez para trabalhar avidamente em um retorno ao pop, que já demonstrava frutos gloriosos com “Never Really Over” e “Harleys in Hawaii”, singles avulsos que, eventualmente, integrariam o compilado de inéditas. Utilizando elementos novos para compor essa mais nova fase de sua carreira e “acidentalmente” adiando a produção para um dia depois do nascimento de sua primogênita, Daisy Dove Bloom, a artista se manteve fiel às raízes que a colocaram no topo do mundo na década passada – ainda que tenha abandonado certos vícios de linguagem Expand

    This album is totally a BOP.
    The teenage dream, California girl Katy Perry has become a full bloom, mature mother.
    Unlike Witness, SMILE the album has shown how happy Katy is and how she wants the world to become, joyful and united.
    Like the song Cry About It Later, in this hard time during the pandemic, we can’t do anything but just dance, party and have fun!!

    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).
