critic reviews

Professional opinion pieces

Critic reviews are professional evaluations of creative works—films, books, albums, restaurants, video games—written by reviewers for publications or media outlets.

The term usually appears in contrast to user reviews or audience scores: The critic reviews were mixed, but audiences loved it.

Aggregator sites compile critic reviews into composite scores.
