Practice makes perfect. Taking a break might clear your mind, but stopping to review as a whole because of some criticism could make the contrary happen.

My style of review isn't the best either. I try to write down in words how I felt during my playthrough and note what I experienced as annoying or off, and what stood out as fun or surprising. Most authors seem to find such a written down experience enough to see where they could improve, while some reviewers wrote down entire design details, some even including screenshots to clear things up.
