    At first listen this album really did not resonate the message I wanted to hear, but in the two year perspective a lot has happened.

    The songs are catchy, relatable and pleasing to the ear. This may not have been the “comeback” album us fans are waiting for but I can say that this body of work really contribute to my SMILE today.

    Smile is very different than Katy's albums from before. The new chapter feels like this the most personal artist's project to the date. Lyrics are beautiful, songs are very catchy. Listening to this album truly feels like Perry takes you to the "Smile Park". At last procution makes this album quite unique. Optimistic move which was very anticipated and needed!

    A sweet, but simplistic album, Katy Perry is a pop legend. Despite it not being no 'Teenage Dream' Katy delivers pop bangers such as Harleys in Hawaii

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es impresionante como supo manejar la temática del álbum, los vídeos musicales y las canciones. No fue buena la elección de los sencillos, pero no afectó al álbum en los absoluto. Es un concepto que es triste pero oscuro a la vez, dándole lo que quiere a sus fans. Canciones increíbles como Tucked, Harleys In Hawaii, Smile, Not The End Of The World, Never Really Over, y casi todas, aunque Resilient es un poco diferente a las demás. Sin duda le dió a sus fans lo que querían.… Expand

    Katy Perry experiencing a new one after the disastrous "Witness" was, showing new Indie sounds, the perfect mix surpassing albums like "Teenage Dream". Although the album was not well received by the general public it is a good album if you want a "PERRY EXPERIENCE".

    Katy has proven once again that she is one of the greatest popstars with this albums including great lyrics and a great production. Perfect over all.

    Um album divertido, mas nada diferente do que Katy Perry já tenha feito antes.

    Pontos Positivos: "Harleys in Hawaii", "Daisies", "Cry About It Later"

    Pontos Negativos: album um pouco genérico, "Smile" péssima

    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).
