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]
