    Hoping that the unimpressed critics get Positive on Corona Virus and vanish from this Earth. Katy Perry Smile album is the best. I love Tucked personally. Can't wait for Cry About It Later to be the next single. 10/10 for Smile

    O álbum veio muito bem neste exato momento de pandemia, pois conseguimos nos sentir vivos e animados, mesmo dentro de casa. A energia que emana destas músicas mostra uma maturidade da Katy Perry, bem como não deixa de lado a sua essência. Vale muito a pena ouvi-lo várias vezes.

    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).
