    Um álbum ótimo. Não, não é a maior inovação de todos os tempos, muito menos o melhor álbum da carreira, mas é um bom trabalho.

Comparam a carreira dela atualmente com os grandes sucessos do passado, como se isso fosse uma justificativa para dar uma nota baixa. Parece que escondem a antipatia pela Katy por meios de argumentos vazios e repetitivos. Pior são as críticas falando mais sobre a vida pessoal dela do que a música em si. É tóxico e desrespeitoso em alguns casos.

    Para as outras fanbases vindo aqui destilar ódio gratuitamente: mais amor, pois vocês estão perdendo tempo achando que isso vai afetar em algo. Ela está no melhor momento da vida dela, e não vão ser pessoas amargurada desde 2013 que vão tirar o sorriso dela.

    For me, Katy has matured so much in her own art. She has always been trying to experience with new sounds, words. This album is a worthy record that you should spend at least 10 times listening to work out the messages Katy put in.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tucked is the best song off the album only behind Harleys in Hawaii. These two songs alone show Katy’s multi dimensions of music. The reason I mention Tucked is that many critics couldn’t understand what’s the audience’s interest and the flow of the music industry nowadays. Their sabotaged of talented artists wouldn’t show they’re superior but only letting the public understand their view don’t matters. Expand

    I love this album and I can't stop listening to it. It has the typical Katy Perry sound, but it's also different from her other albums. I find it more mature. It's full of Fireworks and Roars, it's what we needed in this historic moment.

    This album is a redemption. Katy is washing her hands about all the hate she received in the past. Just like Taylor said everyone is waiting for the brand new toy girl to play whit and then discharge it. She’s a grown up woman and a mother who deserves respect as an artist and as a person.

I only have 1 problem with this album and that is that the album is really short, i wished it was a little bit longer.

    Album of the year, she did what she had to do, amazing from begining to the end

    Um álbum com mensagens incríveis e que infelizmente a crítica insiste em pega no pé da Katy a troco de nada. Mas enfim, quem deve se agradar do álbum é o público e não a crítica. Passar bem Rolling Stones!

    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).
