Reviewing is a starting point, not an end point. Reviewers aren't a talisman or an 8-Ball. I used to rely on them for guidance and learned to just read them for the updates in tech, keep up with what's new, and with the talented ones, for the humor and insights.
You're basically on your own in this hobby and don't ever see that as a limitation. It's an advantage. Follow your heart and use your ears and you'll be happy. If you click with a certain reviewer, then that can help narrow down choices.
All the best,
