Agreed, so many times reviewers have saved me from myself as well as passed on solutions I didn't know, pointed out functions in our giant codebase I wasn't aware of, taught me new language concepts I wasn't familiar/comfortable with (ie, C++11->14->17->20) and generally helped limit our technical debt. I'm a fan of code review For me, code review is collaboration. We're helping each other. The one thing I'd suggest is, as much as possible, try to phrase reviews like a question: "Do you mean to do X here?", "Would using fooTheFob here work?", "Is this a race condition?". At least it feels better to me.
