Reviewer is mostly pain in the neck, it is claimed (6)
I believe the answer is:
critic
'reviewer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for critic that I've seen before include "Professional analyst of works of art" , "One writing reviews" , "A reviewer of plays, books etc" , "Commentator, pundit" , "Newspaper reviewer" .)
