on the fear part, in a healthy team the author still owns the change, the reviewer is a second pair of eyes not an insurance policy. what helped my people a lot was asking the author how they tested it and what happens if it goes wrong, if they can't answer that's your review comment right there. and if something breaks after you approved it, you fix it together and add a check so it doesn't happen again, nobody serious blames the reviewer for that
