What Constitutes Good Review?

• For early reviews
• Is the number of reviews significant?
• Is it important to get a range of skill sets
  among the reviewers? (Or the focus / interests
  of the reviewers?)
• Is there a measure of the depth of review?
• Is there a measure of breadth of cross area
  coverage?
• Do these also apply to late / formal reviews?
