    Painfully the same Katy we’ve seen for years, with similar sounding beats and overproduction. There are some okay tracks on here, but not enough to fully save it. We can’t easily give her good reviews just because she’s Katy Perry. This album has to at least live up to its predecessor’s, to which it does not.

    her worst album to date, it didn't made be smile, it's a very predictible record with basically the same sound that she's been doing since 2010, nothing innovative, nothing catchy, so far it's the worst female release of the year

    Her worst album to date, it is reproductive and out-of-date. How can you imagine that this mediocre album is poorly produced by Katy Perry who used to have great record like Prism. Overall, the songs from Smile reminds you of a circus, not the funny one but a horrible one. It makes people think that it is written by a 9 years old and the generic lyric is even worse than a child poems. TheHer worst album to date, it is reproductive and out-of-date.

    The worst album of her career

    The songs seem to be a recycling of everything she has ever done with a dance beat on top, in an attempt to appear trendy and fresh but unfortunately still dated

    This album was a disappointment. I didn't have high hopes for Katy and her music, but I did think it would be better than this. She has the budget for the best writers and producers in the world but this album still sounds dated, clunky, and tacky. Hopefully the next one is better but after this and Witness, I doubt the quality of Katy's music is on anything but a downward spiraling trajectory.

    É constrangedor que uma mulher de 35 anos lance um álbum totalmente sem coesão e imaturo como esse. É, literalmente, constrangedor escutar isso que, supostamente, eram para ser músicas.

    Espero que ela consiga encontrar a sua verdadeira vocação sendo mãe, pois como cantora não tem mais salvação.

    When you work with a new album, you are wondering to hear something new. Im sorry Ms. Katy but it´s fine if you just celebrate the birth of your new child, because this album it´s the same as we heard in 2010 , 2013 & 2016.

    Com produções cativantes e letras chicletes Smile consegue surpreender. Nesse trabalho podemos dizer que Katy Perry entregou um album digno de prêmios e aclamação, podemos dizer que esse é de longe seu melhor momento na indústria musical.

    This album is a really weird one.
    First, it includes singles that were released almost or more than a year ago. For me that is Lack of creativity for making new songs. Next, 12 songs for an “iconic” album, really? 12 songs is nothing and only 8 are really new songs, I really think that is, besides lack of creativity, also lack of interest for achieving an award or returning something to

    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).
