That's how the new system works. To see a review, you have to ask the permission of the reviewer. Then you're able to see the entire review. If the reviewer doesn't respond in time or at all you're just SOL. Under the old system all reviews were visible, but there was a public (non-explicit) part & private (explicit) part.

Personally I don't like the new setup at all. I feel like my reviews that I worked hard for are being held hostage!
