    Absolute pop perfection! This album explores the many facets of pop music, from the inspirational, to the melancholy to the romance, all crafted with sleek production, strong melodies and decent lyrics. If you want straight-forward, catchy and compelling pop music, you have arrived!

    One of the best albums of Katy Perry's, hands down. Some highlights are "Not the End of the World" and "Teary Eyes," though the album as a whole is cohesive and tells a great, inspiring story.

    Fue un regreso perfecto! Un disco fresco y lleno de emotividad que nos hace olvidar la existencia de Witness.
    A Katy se le crítica que no sale de su Sona de confort, peor hacer esta crítica deja en evidencia que no escucharon el álbum y solo se están dejando llevar por apreciaciones personales .
    Uno de los álbumes del año sin duda alguna.

    Best album of Katy Perry. "Daises" gives you all the positive energy you want. "Cry about it later" makes you forget about your problems and enjoy your positive day. "Never really over" makes you remember your past. "Harley's in Hawaii" makes you go into trance and enjoy the mood.

    This album is amazing! It brings a message of self love, breaktrough and happiness... a lot of the songs follow this "disco" vibe, the 2020 trend for music. It's catchy, it's fun, it's just... beautiful! The perfect comeback for such a big name in pop music as Katy

Now you're both drunk. He held your hand and went to the dance floor.You were shy at first, went crazy, slow danced, made out. Your friends joined you in circle. You said goodbye, went home alone. The day turned out to be the best day ever. You cried yourself to sleep.

    ALL these emotions on SMILE.

    It is a very excellent album, it fluctuates in different sounds - but in a cohesive way and that maintains its concept. We see a Katy, who has remained vulnerable in several previous situations (as in her documentary: Part of Me), showing that that joy shown previously as Sweets and Fireworks was only superficial and that did not portray her reality.

We see a Katy, who has remained vulnerable in several previous situations (as in her documentary: Part of Me), showing that that joy shown previously as Sweets and Fireworks was only superficial and that did not portray her reality. The ballads on the album are incredible, and what Katy does best, since we see incredible vocals on Daisies.
    Tucked is about an "delusional relationship" and at the same time it's a joy song, that's so much awesome to 'see' on a song.
    Those are just two examples that represent the album very well, which is very worth listening to.

    Even at its sweetest, Smile still feels like the the too-familiar work of a star committed to remaining pleasantly, fundamentally unchanged--and that may be the only mortal sin pop music can't forgive. [Sep 2020, p.100]"

    There’s so much hate being spread against Katy. People say Katy doesn’t have hits anymore, but her music is good to listen to. If another singer had released the same album people would have said “this is the album of the year”. At least, Katy is living one of the best moments of her life. ♥️

    Can't deny that "Smile" has everything we need to smile, to dance and to feel the real Katy's feeling during those past years. "Not the end of the World" take us to another level, each time you put that on replay you can notice a different beat or emotion. The only thing I can say is that - Hope this quarantine can go away so I can dance listening to "Teary Eyes".

Won't say that is her best album cause we still have (thanks God) "Teenage Dream" but there's no way to compare both - She won't give us another Teenage Dream even because we already have it! So, if you guys wanna hear a teenage dream, go and listen to that but if you wanna hear some others masterpieces, this is the correct album.
    2 years working on that really worth it!
    Just a friendly reminder - "Teenage Dream" has also received bad reviews and those people who wrote it, still singing/dance every time they hear that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Smile, é diferente de tudo que ela nos apresentou ao longo dos anos. "One of the Boys" veio discreto, mas chamou a atenção da rainha do pop, Madonna com a música "Ur So Gay". O grande bum do público foi com o aclamado "Teenage Dream" simplesmente memorável com seu mundo doce e lindos sonhos adolescentes. "Prism" é um álbum mais maduro com singles como "Roar", "Unconditionally", "Birthday" e "Dark Horse".. sempre com a videografia impecável. Witness injustiçado pela crítica especializada e grande parte dos fãs, afinal, Katy Perry flertou com a atual situação política do seu país e mostrou q não apenas um rostinho bonito com suas músicas dançantes e merece muito reconhecimento mas vocês não estão prontos para essa conversa. E finalmente, o tão aguardado "Smile" é perfeito com cada faixa em seu devido lugar e particularmente eu não mudaria absolutamente nada. "Never Really Over" carro chefe de Smile, "Harleys in Hawaii", "Daises", "Smile" (música que dá nome ao álbum) e espero que "Cry About It Later" e "What Makes A Woman" também se tornem singles. Parabéns Katy Perry! Expand

    This is the best album from Katy Perry so far, all the tracks are pop perfection, it has no skips, and deserves all, and so much more of what the "professional critics" are giving her.

    New Katy Perry's songs are an incredible way to demonstrate the resilience that only a woman in heels can do it.

    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).
