Reviews
Thomas Bleach, in a review of Bombs Away, said "'Smile' is an infectious feel good hit waiting to be unleashed. Radio will eat this song right up and is a summer anthem in waiting. It may be a bit cheesy but you can't help but get lost in the music and want to hear it over and over again."[11] Marcus Floyd of Renowned for Sound, in a review of Bombs Away, said; "'Smile' is a cheesy-yet-catchy track that is fun to bop along to."[12]
