    First of all, this album already ended Traumatica with ease. Lady Gaga doesn't deserve rights after releasing the terrorist atomic bomb named "Chromatica", or Traumatica for wise ones.

    So Katy Perry decided to not take herself seriously, and record an album for kids? Witness wasn't great, But at least it had replay value.

    Katy Perry, minha cara, o álbum parece bem enjoativo, e muitas músicas são como um pop rock, o álbum quer trazer de volta o antigo estilo da Katy como um álbum inovador remontado para parecer atual, porém na minha opinião não deu certo, tirando pouquíssimas consideradas para mim boas, é meio que um Prism com Teenage Dream e um pouco de One Of The Boys, Katy que tal dar uma pausa paraKaty Perry, minha cara, o álbum parece bem enjoativo, e muitas músicas são como um pop rock, o álbum quer trazer de volta o antigo estilo da Katy como um álbum inovador remontado para parecer atual, porém na minha opinião não deu certo, tirando pouquíssimas consideradas para mim boas, é meio que um Prism com Teenage Dream e um pouco de One Of The Boys, Katy que tal dar uma pausa para pensar melhor nos conceitos? pois Smile não colou muito.

    Mais um fracasso na conta dessa palhaça. A capa do disco resume bem o seu conteúdo: uma palhaçada sem graça.

    Well, Smile performed even worse than Witness as the album, despite releasing a string of catchy singles, not only opened with shockingly low first-week sales but also made a massive leap from its initial debut at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 200, dropping to a shocking No. 54 the following week.

    Weak album, incoherent lyrics, disjointed and predictable production, that's why this woman has no relevance since 2014, she got lost in her own greed.

    Fracasso mundial, sem Dr Luke essa mulher não é ninguém. Não há nenhum hit no álbum, tudo soa como a mesma canção, produções fracas, letras sem sentido. Fracasso total!

    Essa mulher não tem talento algum, sem Dr Luke ela não é ninguem, esse album soa como sobras da Rita Ora ou alguem do tipo. Lixo total! Lixo! Lixo!

    Perfectly disappointing in every way possible. Katy Perry an artist very proficient in delivering hits&marketing fails to make a splash. The album barely got promoted as if it's indicative of lack of faith. Aesthetically it's extremly underwhelming, i cannot wrap my head around the relevance of the clown concept,what is happening here?

    Hinting to be a return to form with the misleadingly good lead single "never really over " or the palatable "daisies" and "Harleys in Hawaii " but otherwise every other effort is grating to a point of being annoying.

    Gone are the highlights of previous hits, here she's introspective and boring. Stripped of the risk and brazen sensuality of previous Katy staples.    … Expand

    One of the worst albums of all time. Mediocre, boring, horrible production and childish lyricism.

    this album is below mid. I didn't really like katy like ever and seeing how her fans behave on twitter i just thought i would leave my 2 cents here for that. Yup she's over and it's time everyone accepts it. ciao

    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).
