    um dos álbuns mais fracos dos últimos tempos, nem de longe lembra a cantora que lançou Teenage Dream e Prism, músicas totalmente esquecíveis, senti como perda de tempo ter ouvido

    En lo personal, éste álbum tiene sonidos similares a sus anteriores trabajos discográficos, nada que no haya hecho antes, lo unico que puedo rescatar son las letras que tiene como not the end of the world

    O álbum entrega a mesma fórmula batida de sempre e com uma sonoridade rasa. As músicas não conversam entre si e parece uma coleção de descartes. O fato de muitas músicas do álbum terem sido lançadas há muito tempo atrapalhou bastante

    Sin comentarios en lo personal no me parece nada nuevo, todas las canciones son aburridas y los vídeos de los singles que ha sacado se me hacen básicos, aburridos y eso aún hace que la canción sea más aburrida. Es un álbum que no escuchare, y mucho menos compraría por qué sería gastar mi dinero en algo que no vale la pena.

    Cry it about it later is the song that could save this album. Katty Perry as a legend has influenced the pop music with colorful videos, an amazing production and hopelly song lyrics. Unfortunately she got down into a cliché and like she chose disposable songs from her previous albums to put in here.

    Honrando seu apelido mais conhecido, de ''Doceira'', Katy Perry provou mais uma vez ser mestre no lançamento de bolas de açúcar para consumo momentâneo e limitado. A trajetória da cantora sempre se resumiu na produção de canções efêmeras, com intuitos breves. Não possuindo uma esfera de qualidade interna, Perry apenas consegue se resumir aos seus antigos sucessos de carreira, tais como ''Firework'' e ''Dark Horse'', e mais uma vez a cantora se mostra ínfima e nada interessante ao continuar com suas mesmas produções repetitivas e a velha antiga fórmula de pop de sala de espera de consultório odontológico. De um certo modo, Katy tenta implementar uma nova ideia crítica e progressiva em suas letras, tal como a faixa final ''What Makes A Woman'', que embora seja escrita majoritariamente por homens, revela uma camada mais pessoal da cantora. De fato, o clima atual não contribui para maior absorção do trabalho de Katy, tendo em vista que sua rival (ou pelo menos antiga rival), Taylor Swift, segue entregando materias de sua mais profunda complexidade e capacitação lírica. Desse modo, Katy provou mais uma vez ser a artista menos interessante entre suas colegas de geração, em outras palavras, o sorriso amarelou.    … Expand

    There's not a whole lot to say about this album, it's largely forgettable. The only real highlight is Never Really Over, everything else is filled with cliches, generic production, and most of the hooks aren't nearly as catchy as Katy's best work. It's, at best, a half-decent attempt at recreating her old hits, but without any of the spark that made them such great pop music.

    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).
