reviewers
Those who critique
Reviewers are people who evaluate something—a manuscript, a product, a performance, an application—and offer judgment or feedback.
Book reviewers assess new publications for newspapers.
Peer reviewers evaluate academic papers before publication.
The reviewers loved the film but audiences stayed home.
We're waiting to hear back from the grant reviewers.
