critiques

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'detailed analyses' is the definition.
'critiques' can be an answer for 'analyses' ('critique' can be a synonym of 'analysis'). I am not certain of the 'detailed' bit.

'quits rice weirdly' is the wordplay.
'weirdly' is an anagram indicator.
'quits'+'rice'='quitsrice'
'quitsrice' is an anagram of 'CRITIQUES'.

'seeing' acts as a link.
