It can mean critic or lecturer, but there's no way of knowing without context.

guest reviewer? Mit Armorel & m8ill2
mill2 Jun 6, 2014:
with Armorel There is *always* context.
Armorel Young Jun 6, 2014:
Really no context? If it was used in a conversation. then surely it was at least used in a sentence. And surely the conversation covered some sort of topic. All this surrounding information would be useful and would count as context.

neutral writeaway : guest and definitely not invited. if it's literally a Kritiker then it's literally a critic. not really a "pro" question /there is NO context so a remotely possible answer shouldn't be zapped as wrong!!! not really fair play

agree Armorel Young : In the total absence of context, this is the only way to go.
