    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Katy Perry’s bubbly, cliché-ridden pop feels especially unsuited for life in a pandemic. But despite all her garbled platitudes, she remains a master at executing chart-topping formulas.… Expand

    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!

    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.

    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

    这是我听过的最糟糕的专辑。我不认识凯蒂·佩里。凯蒂·佩里 发生了什么，但是无论发生什么都一定破坏了她的创造力。即使是八月份发行，这也是2020年最糟糕的专辑，我讨厌它。她曾经是2010年的出色流行歌星，但她失去了魔力 。在排行榜上也表现不佳哈哈哈！

    The same pop style since 2010, she is 30+, she needs to grow up and change everything if she wants to continue.

    This album was a big disappointment, especially coming from Katy Perry who has had at least some deep cuts on all her albums but somehow fails to deliver this time.

    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!

    Funniest pandemic record ever. Hands down. Katy never failed us to disappoint us.

    It's not even that the songs are bad, it's worse than that: they are largely forgettable. Gone are the concise couplets and hooks catchier than a rash, replaced by mediocre knockoffs.

    The worst album of 2020.its like a child wrote this album for fun and it's not even fun. There is not a single good song in it. I like other albums of katy but this was a disaster!

    A very bland and typical pop album. Sounds like a generic target ad commercial. There are a few interesting lyrics and solid bangers, but they are spread too thin to save this album. It looks like Katy's career is coming to its end

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

    Smile is not even close of what a good and cohesive album is. Katy is an AMAZING person, but this work she put together isn’t enough to be called an average record.

    un album muy flojo por parte de katy desfortunadamente se encuenta encapsulada en los mismos ritmos iguales a los escuchados en witness y tal cual como paso con ese album pasa sin pena ni gloria

    Parece mais do mesmo, escutando NRO pela primeira vez parece legal, mas depois o álbum todo soa repetitivo e chato.

    Album não coeso, as músicas genéricas e bobas de sempre, fez uma "lavagem" e juntou tudo!

    The album itself just really sucks, the best tracks, if you can call them that, are the ones already released ages before the album So there's nothing new and interesting about it, no reason to seek the complete, and traumatic, album experience

    It’s nothing new. Basic Popmusic. At least „Not the end of the world“ is great.

    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).
