Very few people are capable of writing a proper criticism. When I read reviews I look for cues to who is writing it, the words they chose and the phrasing, to see if there is a chance I would see your work the same way.
On your note about not being like Clancy, maybe he glosses over those details that make a difference when he reads Clancy and you evoke whatever feelings he gets from reading Clancy. He wouldn't be wrong but it is more subjective than defining why he thinks your work is like Clancy's.
