The Reviews Module can be used for displaying User and/or Editor Reviews:

The module displays listing's thumbnail, title, user/editor rating, name of the reviewer and first 100 characters of the review.
To modify the layout, the theme file of the listings Reviews Module is located here:
- \com_jreviews\jreviews\views\themes\default\modules\reviews.thtml

Reviews Type - (All | User Reviews | Editor Reviews )
Everywhere Extension - if you want to limit results to a specific extension, then enter it here (i.e. com_content, com_virtuemart, com_sobi2, etc.)

JReviews Template Suffix - this parameter allows you to use a different theme file for each published instance of the module.
Module Class Suffix - a suffix will be applied to the CSS class of the module. This allows individual module styling

Enable Ajax Pagination - allows users to navigate to other pages inside the module without page reloads
Plugin width (px) - required only when Ajax Pagination is enabled
Plugin height (px) - required only when Ajax Pagination is enabled
Limit results - sets the number of results shown in the module
Columns - number of columns or items per row to show

Category Autodetect - JReviews will try to determine the category id and show only results for that category. If enabled, this setting overrides all the ID settings below it. Autodetect and category id filtering will work with components integrated via the Everywhere add-on as long as you specify the component's name in the Everywhere Extension setting above.
To use filtering by IDs you must enter "com_content" in the Everywhere extension parameter

Thumbnail Type - Scale creates thumbnail with specified width. Height is scaled proportionately. Crop takes a square from the center of the image and scales to the specified width

Link title output format - You can use the {listing_title} and {review_title} tags to build your link title output. You can also specify the total number of characters to show by adding the number inside that tag like this {listing_title 10} - {review_title 15}
Show numbers - ads numbers before each review
