    It's sad that a big pop star such Katy Perry had declined this way. Smile has no cohesion as an album itself. Three songs are only the exception. She should take a rest and bring pop music what it deserves.

    Realmente todo el disco parecen descartes de sus trabajos anteriores. No se siente una conexión o sonido que nos diga quién es Smile. Las baladas son monótonas y aburridas. La mayor parte del disco parecen rellenos inecesarios. Canciones como Harleys in Hawaii o Never Really Over duelen verlas dentro de éste trabajo.

    Childish and superfluous. Katy tries to bring back fans with her old “comic/campy” -rather childish- aesthetic and mixes it with “deep” “retrospective” lyrics that are simply regular, reminding us of lack her of talent but incuestionable beauty...

O álbum é gostosinho sim de escutar, mais acho que mesmo com que a Katy Perry passou na era anterior e no começo dessa, é tudo culpa de seus fãns, obcecados por outros artistas, e deixando a desejar com a mesma, Katy não merece seus fãns sei que é para falar de álbum mais vale citar a sua fanbase tóxica, vendo a critica massacrar o álbum da katy e indo descontar a raiva em outros trabalhos superiores a esse. A temática Circo do álbum mostra claramente que ela serve de palhaça para seus fãns que só a amam quando faz oque eles desejam. Não inveje arte dos outros, cada um tem sua maneira de fazer arte e cada um tem seus admiradores. Estou dizendo isso porque muitos fãs da Katy Estão jogando hate para Gaga e mostrando o quão ridículo são indo criticar o álbum dela no metacritic para cair a nota, desde o início da era Chromatica vocês divulgaram os link de vazamentos tentando prejudicar a Gaga quando logo em breve Katy tem todo o seu álbum vazado na internet dias antes do seu lançamento, e mesmo assim muitos monsters mostraram apoio a ela, e outros não devido a esse fato. Vocês tentam mostrar que são foda quando na verdade são apenas ridículos, atacando outros artista quando na verdade suas fav só cai cada vez mais.… Expand

    I've followed KP's career for so many years now and i gotta say this album is so generic and mediocre.

    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).
