hankhatesyouall 2,731 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Entertainment Weekly - positive (67/100) Slant Magazine - mixed (60/100) Rather than build on any of the sounds she experimented with in the past, Perry seems content to stay in her lane when, at this point, she has nothing to lose. The Telegraph - mixed (60/100) You don’t come to Katy Perry for depth. What’s made her special in the past is that lightning jolt of emotion that rushes through the layers of sugary-sweet pop RS - mixed (60/100) Not counted yet: The Independent - mixed (3/5) While ‘Never Really Over’ is Perry’s most compelling single since ‘Dark Horse’, there’s nothing on this record to equal the giddy delight of her greatest hits. The imagery crayoned through Katy Perry’s sweetly forgettable fifth album, Smile, comes straight out of the primary school colouring book. Musically as well as lyrically, the whole record blu-tacs itself firmly to bright’n’boring basics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeQueenOfGGD 25,454 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 So they’re basically saying it’s just another Katy Perry album, and that we’ll already know what it sounds like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Katy should release a Greatest Hits album ready for Christmas, with a bonus ACOUSTIC track about being new mum. Enough with the cartoons, Kathryn. You are more than ready to evolve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherry 4,715 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 She really needs to evolve. I heard the album and I couldn't help but feel like skipping most of the songs because it felt like I've already heard it. NRO, OL and NTEOTW are the only standouts. I love Katy but she has to bring something new to the table. Love it when you call me legs, in the morning buy me eggs 🥚 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Well I guess it’s her most acclaimed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 56,146 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 It's still her highest rated album so far. I actually expected it to be better received as pop albums get higher scores nowadays but even so, this is still something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepotter 75,147 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 The fact that this makes it her highest rated album, and 17 points above her lowest rated... chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born in Chromatica 7 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Her highest Metacritic score so far . Most critical acclaimed Katy Perry album yet . FaShIoN iS mY pAsSiOn! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versace 7,979 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I haven't listened yet and I'm going in with low expectations. I don't know why she's been clowning around (no pun intended) ever since Witness. Like Girl you are Mother of Bops, songs like Small Talk, Daises and Smile are just not it. If you wanna play it safe, go back to producing with Max Martin. Otherwise her half-assed attempt at Pop hits won't cut it. I say this as someone who loves her. Teenage Dream and Prism mean so much to me. It's sad how she's not innovating sonically at all while all her peers did at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DziubiDaily 2,321 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 It's less good than Witness imo. Overall, I think it's a very bland album... I do enjoy Champagne Problems, NRO and Teary Eyes though. But most tracks are forgettable. This will be a streaming disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedd 6,338 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 When album leaked I only listened to Not The End Of The World, cause it's the only song I like since she was teasing on Smile Sundays and I think it's the best on the album, a saviour.
