Rebuke or expression of disappointment (8)

I believe the answer is:

reproach

(Other definitions for reproach that I've seen before include "Upbraid, rebuke" , "Censure - or preach (anag)" , "Take to task" , "Express disapproval to (someone)" , "Upbraiding, censure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
