    Painfully the same Katy we’ve seen for years, with similar sounding beats and overproduction. There are some okay tracks on here, but not enough to fully save it. We can’t easily give her good reviews just because she’s Katy Perry. This album has to at least live up to its predecessor’s, to which it does not.

    Ela desaprendeu , não adianta, passou o tempo e não melhorou... ela precisa amadurecer as letras

    No hay nada de bueno en el álbum. Tiene el mismo sonido de siempre. Ojalá en el próximo se renueve y saque algo que valga la pena

    Un álbum hermoso, pero sus fans s1dosos no pueden vivir con el fracaso entonces tienen que hundir a otras artistas para que la suya no se muera totalmente. Maduren mierdacats

    I thought this album was bad and inconsistent, none of the sounds she plays with are very appealing.

    achei que depois do flop gigantesco que a mesma caiu ela iria melhorar como artista mas nunca estive tão errado... entregou mais uma vez algo básico, genérico e sem substância

    her worst album to date, it didn't made be smile, it's a very predictible record with basically the same sound that she's been doing since 2010, nothing innovative, nothing catchy, so far it's the worst female release of the year

    Her worst album to date, it is reproductive and out-of-date. How can you imagine that this mediocre album is poorly produced by Katy Perry who used to have great record like Prism. Overall, the songs from Smile reminds you of a circus, not the funny one but a horrible one. It makes people think that it is written by a 9 years old and the generic lyric is even worse than a child poems. TheHer worst album to date, it is reproductive and out-of-date.

    Katy always has the same concept but it doesn't work anymore. Sounds generic and aged like milk.

    The worst album of her career

    The songs seem to be a recycling of everything she has ever done with a dance beat on top, in an attempt to appear trendy and fresh but unfortunately still dated

    A new album that is old-fashioned and has no novelty, and I can still hear such an album in 2020.

    Mais do mesmo, chato, datado e desesperado. Chega ser triste pensar que Katy era uma das artistas mais interessantes da indústria.

    This album sounds exactly like all her past stuff, feels like im listening the same stuff again and again, i cant feel how she has grown as a songwriter, and thats so bad, because she is a nice songwriter...

    I only like two songs. Worse than her last album. So short. She’s lost her touch. Lost it 7 years ago at this point, after prism.

    Esperaba bastante más de lo que ha hecho, después de lo mal que salió Witness, no me esperaba este disco.

    This album was a disappointment. I didn't have high hopes for Katy and her music, but I did think it would be better than this. She has the budget for the best writers and producers in the world but this album still sounds dated, clunky, and tacky. Hopefully the next one is better but after this and Witness, I doubt the quality of Katy's music is on anything but a downward spiraling trajectory.

    É constrangedor que uma mulher de 35 anos lance um álbum totalmente sem coesão e imaturo como esse. É, literalmente, constrangedor escutar isso que, supostamente, eram para ser músicas.

    Espero que ela consiga encontrar a sua verdadeira vocação sendo mãe, pois como cantora não tem mais salvação.

    We need a real average, not an overrating. Smile is a good album, but Katy could do it better.

    Katy Perry again demonstrates that she is stuck in 2010, bringing a tepid album with empty and recycled lyrics from previous albums. His work continues without news and artistic evolution.

    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).
