Heh, I have several reviewers that I use in that way - it doesn't really matter what their personal opinion of a work is, they give enough information that I can still make an informed judgment, often explicitly because we disagree so often.
On reader entitlement, I would be very interested in hearing what you have to say; I really enjoyed your musings on the complicated balance between "The author is not the reader's bitch" and "The author of a series has an implied agreement to finish said series in a somewhat timely manner" last time your wrote about it. I can see how it might be a delicate subject though^^
