Game critics have failed casual gamers, in my opinion. Never a great casual

Actually, reviewers do a pretty decent job with casual games, you just have to read the actual review instead of just looking at the score. They have an audience to attend to, but in every casual review I've read, they've made sure to mention that the game is perfectly suitable for someone looking for that type of experience. It's like with Kinnectimals, reviewers aren't that high on the game, but they acknowledge that it's a quality product for children and family. 

Indeed, some very good points made, but it is odd that reviews have this odd disconnect - the text is written with the target audience in mind, but the score is not. I think that is the source of the problem that many have with reviews of casual games.
