IMO the biggest advantage for not requiring code reviews for every change is to concentrate code review efforts to where it's needed most: changes with higher risk. Sure, every change has some degree of risk. But obviously some changes have more and if you are treating all changes equally then you may overlook the important changes.

I'm not sure that requiring a review implies treating all changes equally, but it does at least get some eyes on everything, and IMHO that's important.

  Eyes on everything likely means fewer eyes on some things.

    Overall? Doubtful, IMHO Things will get pushed without review that are considered urgent, bugs will slip through to live systems, bad time all round.
