"Please allow me to disagree. Review is the written/said description of a personal experience. As such, if the reviewer (see: user) doesn't like a theme, he is free to say it. Of course it is subjective."
If it was, he didn't made it clear. He just quoted his opinion with IMO "IMO, it seems to be the best of the..." but not on the spicy comments.
"If you think that reviews are "feature listings", you are wrong. These are also called "press releases" and they are not reviews."
Aheam, it might come as a surprise but I hardly need to be reminded of the difference between a press release or an hype shoot and a fair review. Just in case you are interested this was a real review:

The author at newsforge did pointed out the positive and negative aspects of CL yet respecting the authors of a small, volunteers baded and free distribution.
Eugenia, Please don't get me wrong. I do have a grea deal of respect for you and all your authors. I am grateful to OSnews for the support.
That said it takes two to tango. I can certainly accept every form of constructive criticism but if I have to deal with such a review, he should deal with my comments.
Once again thanks for your understanding and support.
Regards
David
