That's naïve, reviewers bring out scores as soon as they are allowed to. This is clearly a very heavy review embargo dropped by the develloper, which could be (but does not have to be) a sign of being afraid of bad critic.

I'm sure they can't embargo reviews after release. 

They can, and have done so before, with rewiews based on codes/copys they provided before launch. Assassins creed unity for example, was famously embargoed until after initial release day.

They can't do anything about people who bought the game on launch day, or otherwise got their hands on an early copy (by retailers breaking street date for example), but those are not going to be in deph rewiews.
