"A glance" is a good way to express it. I don't really care what I see, I would just like a quick gauge of how well-kept their code is. I think looking at the small things like frequency of comments, variable naming, parameter checking, etc would be a good basic indication of their style.

"I don't really care what I see"

And while I don't have a good way to express it yet, if they demur you can point out the above, and that quite to the contrary of whatever they're worrying about, they'll have to pay you good money to seriously examine their code (and then work on it) ^_^.
