Lord knows I've left my fair share of one and two star reviews on Goodreads, but I've never left a detailed review, usually because the books I'm one and two starring already have thousands of reviews and I feel a consensus is already formed. Maybe time to rethink that, even if only for my own benefit as a writer/reader/creator/human.

Yeah, be critical - Constructive Reviews may be a better sell. Anyone who wants to improve is better served with critical feedback than being told how great their book is. Brilliant, Fantastic! Feels good to hear. But... there is always a but(t). You need to hear, listen and do with it what you will. Be positive about it. 😎
