critic's

Of the judge

Critic's is the possessive form of critic—a person who evaluates and judges, especially in arts and culture.

It typically modifies things belonging to or associated with such a person: a critic's review, a critic's perspective, the critic's choice.

The phrase critic's darling describes something praised by reviewers but perhaps overlooked by general audiences.
