The goal of the former is pretty clearly to help me make better games. I'm not exactly sure what the goal of the latter is. Is it to help me improve? If so, why not use a more effective method?
From my point of view, reviews are just someone's own opinion about a game. Based on their tastes and what they consider important. Players and authors may agree or disagree with said reviews. If authors agree with bad things mentioned in the review, it can indeed help them improve their games. But the main goal of a review is to express one's opinion. Others who share the reviewer tastes may also benefit from their reviews.
