There's VERY few actual reviews from Japan - and when they exist they tend to be in English, therefore not directed at the Japanese public. In those Ayumi tends to get 3-4 out of 5 stars. However, most I read seemed rather semi-professional. They appeared in legitimate magazines, but seemed to be written by reviewers without much experience or musical insight as those magazines did not focus on music, they just included one or two short music reviews every issue, so the people reviewing the music probably just did it as part of their regular writer job, not out of special interest or knowledge.
