    Well once again we get another generic album from Perry as if it’s not the same album we’ve all heard for the past 10 years. We’re bored. The pop music is tuned to Katy pop lane that she’s afraid to step out of. Hopefully the smile era will bring more fun and excitement because the album isn’t doing it.

    best album ever!you know i started to be a katycat since the witness era the era that katy fell off i mean when everyone left her but yeah in the middle of that i became a katycat coz how she acts to her fans and how lovely she is,you know a sweet momma girl.i don't even know that time why they left katy?because of her haircut?dang it,it doesn't matter about looks it's about what is thebest album ever!you know i started to be a katycat since the witness era the era that katy fell off i mean when everyone left her but yeah in the middle of that i became a katycat coz how she acts to her fans and how lovely she is,you know a sweet momma girl.i don't even know that time why they left katy?because of her haircut?dang it,it doesn't matter about looks it's about what is the meaning of music and how she acts to everyone.is it because of that weird looking album?ya'll r tasteless,song isn't all about how it beats to me it is also a way to put a message u want to say to someone and when u listen to every witness song you will find what is the trully meaning of all it on.and witness passed and hey i am still here for katy until we knew that katy is pregnant and about to release this awaited album it was so beautiful i don't know just i am so happy for her coz she just pased all the bash and what society treats o her and that's because all of daisy dove.i am so proud of katy i love how he never left us katycats thru her depression era.if this smile album flopped again.well we don't care anymore we only focus to each other and for me that is the most important thing between artist and fans,i also love how she doesn't care about charts anymore,yeah what is charts for?for fame?for viral?for new fans?tsk who needs a lots or loads of fans when almost all of them are just there for trendy or just coz of ur looks,even katy will be forgotten by society i promise me and truly katycats will now we will always there for katy no matter what.… Expand

    I've followed KP's career for so many years now and i gotta say this album is so generic and mediocre.
    She gave us masterpieces as teenage dream and prism and then ruined her whole career with witness and now this, smile.
    The only reason i put 3 is because of CAIL and WMAW. I really miss the old Katy.

    I wanted to like it as some who recieved the vinyl early said it was amazing. But every song was just meh. It sounds like 2010 pop with the same basic lyrics. I did kinda like Not the end of the world, but to spend an hour listening to a whole album to find 1 song I might listen to again kind of sucks.

    Uma verdadeira bomba radioativa. Coloquei no spotify porque uma amiga me pediu pra dar stream e disse que a katy tava precisando, mas infelizmemte quando dei play minha familia ficou tão traumatizada e intoxicada com a radiação que tivemos que sair de casa por 5h pra contaminação sair da nossa sala de estar.

    It should be called Frown rather than Smile. There wasn’t a single ounce of originality in this album. She hasn’t been able to release good music since 2013. And even that was a stretch. Come on Katy. Give us good music, that you put your heart and soul into. This just ain’t it. You may have finally got back your smile, but you need to get back your talent..

Sadly, this Katy is all the same type of music she had done before, so I don't like this album that much. I honestly don't know why this album is so annoying. The songs didn't seem to flow together and were just a bunch of songs thrown together rather than a collection of work, very disappointing. I can't express this enough, it's such a disappointing album. Katy can do much better, but she's only wasting her talent on an album as mediocre as this one. It's just an awful attempt to try to reinsert herself in the music industry, so much repetitive songs and she tries way too get to the young audience and preach at times too. It's essentially more of the same as always, her album would have been less of a resounding failure if it had the usual collaborations Katy has. Nicki definitely saved Witness and without it, it would have done worse. It's very lousy, I really thought the Katy Perry could have brought us something better, but it’s not what we have here. I'm sorry Katy, but this a no. It's horrible, please get better and come back to the quality music you once provided.… Expand

    Smile is the worst album released by the artist, it sounds completely dated and forgotten in the middle of her vast discography. What Katy Perry needs is to find herself artistically, and she fails in this project. One of the worst albums of 2020.

    Katy necesita dejar la inmadurez y la temática de niños en el pasado, me gustaría verla ya en su etapa adulta siendo una diva pero ella se aferra al pilón fijo. Lo siento pero no lo recomiendo

    Was expecting so much from her and she just continues to disappoint us, this album is just to generic, she’s is getting so “inspired” by Lady Gaga now, be original please.

    Repetitivo, cero invasión, katy se quedó en sus sonidos pasados y con smile no nos dio nada especial

    The thing about this album is that it's not bad at all but the songs they sound almost all the same. The wow factor about Katy is highly missed in this album.

    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).
