How else would you do it? Keep all user ratings private until that user posts a few dozen?? Require a resume of criticism beforde allowing reviews?

As long as it's easy enough to see that this is the only review for those folks, and so you can jump to your own conclusions about that, what's the problem? Soon some real readers will come and it will start to average out.
