Most of us have good reasons for disliking those reviewer gods whether they live at Kirkus or the New York Times.
Some don't like them because they don't give small press publishers equal time. Others don't like them because they are often snobbish or unnecessarily brusque and cranky. Others don't like them because they run in packs or love each other too much. And then, too, when they speak, books are sold; but when we speak, our words make few ripples in the publishing firmament.
Mainly, though, I think we dislike them because they ignore us and what we write.
