Sure why not? New(good)reviewers are always welcome IMO.
When are you doing your first review?

Tip: be specific. Since everybody likes different things, most of us (IMO) read reviews to find out what the actual content is because, let's face it, box art and blurbs occasionally are misleading ...

As an editor I am probably not telling you anything you don't know already, especially since editors generally have education in reporting as well, but the most important first step is to know the audience of the publication that you are writing for. You post doesn't indicate whether you are going to be an adult reviewer within the local paper you edit for or another publication. And if it is for the paper you edit, it also doesn't indicate what type of paper it is. A critique is only good if it is useful for the segment of the population that the publication reaches.
For instance, a message board like Adult DVD Talk reaches fans of adult material who, in general, have an above average knowledge of adult material. If the publication reaches the same type of core audience feedback and tips from here will be useful. However, if your publication reaches a more general audience overall, it will change the type of information that you give. Generally speaking, the average adult viewer doesn't know all of the stars, run out to see their newest release and doesn't see that many titles a year. For an average couple watching adult material, a general idea of the title may be more useful than a list of acts performed. For a couple where one of the members isn't as into adult material, whether there is a plot or not, and the quality of the plot, sets and acting may be more important. On the opposite, for the same couple, they may not want one with a plot but care about production values. The level of sexual acts may matter. Not wanting to see a title filled with anal scenes, spitting and rough sex may be important.
If you are unsure of the demographics of the coverage and the paper has an online component, I would inquire as to whether a poll could be done through a place like Survey Monkey, to find out what the interest is for a critique of adult material and where the interest lies within the answers you receive. Or if you already know this information, if you share it here it may allow for better suggestions and answers than just a generalized question where the people responding have no idea of what the readership is.
Given the information you have provided so far, the best tip I can offer is to listen to what Tim Harrower said in the book Inside Reporting, "They're written on a deadline to help ordinary readers answer the question: 'Is this thing worth my time and money?'"

I forgot to add this, but as an editor you should already know this, use terminology appropriate for your reading audience as well. Your average reader may not know terms such as A2M, gonzo, etc and if a decent segment of your reading audience won't like words such as fuck, ass, pussy, dick, etc you shouldn't include them within the review. Even if the article doesn't cater to them you have to assume that the people reading the publication will read every article within it and if you offend part of the audience they are likely to switch to another publication. Everyone within the media industry today knows you can't afford to throw away a segment of the reading audience, it is all about growing a reading audience.
