Yes, there's definitely a differenc in the level of ambition, or perhaps
I should asy in the level of pretentiousness :-).
A reviewr is simply on who reviews. IMHO, a critic tries to tell you more
than whether he/she liked the work in question or not - perhaps he/she
tries to relate it to his/her own aesthetical standards, or to
contemporary theories of art, or tries to generalize his/hger findings, or
whatever.
I sort of fancy myself as a critic of IF and not just a reviewer. I
suppose I meet the criteria both of trying to add depth to my reviews
and of pretentiousness :-).
BTW, pardon my ignorance, but who's Spider Robinson?
