Code reviews are a smell.

"Only children and fools speak in absolutes." -someone, somewhere, I don't remember.

Code reviews can be a good thing or bad thing, depending on what each party brings in and intends to get out of them. Painting them unequivocally as bad is rather silly.

Not wanting someone to review your code is a bigger smell, IMO.

Code reviews are one of the very few software practices that there's good evidence in favour of.

This is not necessarily in conflict with your statement.
