Both sides are fantastic. I'm going with 2 because of Smile. It's such a beautiful album closer.

I go with side 2 because of... Lindsey Buckingham

It has everything I seek in Christine’s music...

I'm surprised no contemporary has picked up Smile for a cover, the song is that good. More people should hear it.

I have often thought the same thing.

It's really moving. Sometimes she goes above and beyond.

Honestly, probably not my favourite Christine album.
However, The Challenge, So Excited and One in a Million is a lovely run of songs, so side 1 overall is better (I really don't love Whose Dreaming This Dream)
Overall though, The Smile I Live For is equal to anything she's every done. Does anyone else think it's quite similar in tone and structure to Carnival Begin? (Lindsey influence?)

Those are two of my favorite songs of hers. I really love both of them.
