    Chromatica se defecó en smile.

    Nada nuevo, sonidos completamente repetitivos y planos. Lo único rescatable es Smile y Tucked, nada que ver con la temática del álbum.

    Personalmente la ritengo mediocre come sempre. L’unica differenza è che ha veramente scocciato con queste canzoni tutte uguali dal 2011.

    Um álbum que infelizmente não apresentou nada de novo. Parece um compilado das músicas descartadas de Witness. Faltou criatividade e originalidade. Os singles até agora se mostraram muito fracos. Espero que no próximo, a Katy consiga se reinventar.

    Некоторые песни классные, но они не подходят друг другу. Все это было очень беспорядочно и бессмысленно, кажется, что песни играли только на альбоме, и это сработало, и все еще есть минус.

    Same thing as always. When I hear some parts of theses songs I always think they're from previous records. She also carried songs from last year, she only cares about streams, not the music itself. Very disappointing...

    This is probably the worst album release by singer Katy Perry. Completely dated song, horrible lyrics and childishness from a 35 year old woman. Waiting for the moment when she launched a Teenage Dream 2.0.

    Katy is a wonderful woman, but she never reinvents herself. She has been doing the same pop since the beginning of her career. In addition to children's themes. It looks like an album for children, in fact, maybe not even children like something more professional. An amateur album for a great woman.
