Starred review

recension mise en prominence / selectionée / mise en exergue / recommendée
the point of the "star" in starred review is to make the review more visible than other
Of course it's a positive review, but the point is that that review has been made easier to spot, more prominent.
It seems to be a practice specific to the US trade magazine for the publishing industry "Publishers Weekly" - more in this article:
Book Report
How four magazines you've probably never read help determine what books you buy.
By Adelle Waldman
Look up a book on Amazon.com, and the first media review you see isn't from a well-known book review outlet such as the New York Times or Washington Post but from Publishers Weekly. Scroll down, and chances are you'll also find an opinion from Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, or Booklist.
You've probably never read these magazines, even if you've seen their names on book jackets. But they're helping determine what youread. Together, they make up the big four of book industry trade journals, aimed at publishing insiders: newspaper and magazine editors, bookstore and library book-buyers, literary agents, and film industry types scanning them for movie rights. Long important as behind-the-scenes power brokers, they became even more powerful in the 1990s, when online booksellers signed deals with them. (Barnes & Noble.com, like Amazon, has a deal with Publishers Weekly.) Their reviews—300 or so words of plot summary, context, and a quick verdict—influence which books get noticed, bought, and promoted in the media. What might you want to know about these magazines, then?

critique encensatoire
Tout dépend du contexte...c'est le sens, mais la traduction varie selon que l'expression se trouve dans une phrase ou qu'il s'agit d'un titre précédant l'avis.

: encenseur/-euse (Littré, Robert), coup d'encensoir (Lexis, Larousse) mais encensatoire... Non. Même pas trouvé dans mon Bélisle.// 54 résultats sur google.ca, 55 sur google.fr... Petite existence qui suggère la prudence.

Oui Germaine, les dicos ont souvent un temps de retard sur l'évolution du langage hors carcans...mais vous avez raison, le mot, bien qu'employé, n'existe pas encore ! Enfin, si, il existe chez moi, ce qui est déjà pas mal !
