I disagree. Code review has a social purpose as well as a technical one. It reinforces a shared understanding of the code and requires one person to assure another that the code is ready for review. It develops consensus about design decisions and agreement about what the code is for. With only one person, this is impossible. “Code goes brrr” is a neutral property. It can just as easily take you to the wrong destination as the right one.
