I would take the criticism and move forward. If this is all they had to say then you’re clearly a doing a great job elsewhere.
Thanks! That’s really good to know. All my other reviews were good or great!

Sandwich mentality. Good bad good. They can’t give you all positive reviews, there has to be areas for you to grow
This!
Honestly some partners just put down the only thing they can think of, even if it’s already been resolved.

Repeat after me: I will take only the wisdom necessary out of this situation.
Learn from it, internalize it, don't do it again.
It’s called the “practice of law” for a reason! We have all made mistakes while learning how to practice. Learn from your mistakes, but don’t dwell on them. I was told by a former GC that feedback is a gift. Be confident enough to accept feedback with grace and use it as an opportunity to show the partner you’re taking meaningful strides to improve in that area.
You’re a first year. Lots to learn. Take criticism as an opportunity to get better. I’d be more concerned if the partner sugar coated it
Should I be worried that he has nothing good to say?

He’s got to say something. Don’t worry. It’s done. There’s nothing you can do to change it except learn from it and be a better teacher to others. I’ve seen people self destruct because they they were so freaked out. If it helps you to have a little anxiety so you’re a little more detail oriented or you ask questions the next time, then fine, take your anxiety out of its box and play with it a bit. If your anxiety about it is causing you to make mistakes or beat yourself up, then put it back in the box forever and imagine burning it. It’s done. It’s gone. Nothing else for you to do. Release it. 99% of your review was good. He’s used you again. Why focus on the 1%? Plus, as a reviewer, you have to say something negative or you get in trouble. Quite frankly, he cares enough about you to point out something to improve, and you need someone like that. Use it as an opportunity to ask for incremental feedback after evert project. Be positive and appreciative. The last thing you want is a reputation for being too sensitive and not being able to take some constructive feedback.
I messed up something in my first production too and have been dealing with the fall out (in the one case) since. My reviews were good, but this was still brought up. Totally get it!
Sorry to hear, A3! We’ll get through it tho!
The most I used to do in these situations would be to go to the partner and learn more about it (in a non-defensive way), so that I could improve. Usually, this type of thing impresses partners because it shows you are taking a real interest in your career.
It’s an excuse to not pay you more. Have some pride in yourself and look elsewhere for more money. Same thing will happen there but at least you’ll have more money.
Take the criticism gracefully.
If that’s the worst thing you got, just say yeah I know I messed that up but I have learned from that mistake. Haven’t done it since. Did everything I could to fix it. If you get a bad annual review for that one instance, I would be very surprised
Take the feedback as a learning experience. You can make a list of things / mistakes that were pointed out and use it as a check list for the next time you work on a similar assignment.
