But why is "wanting reviews" bad? I know there's that grand idea that we should write only for the joy of creating and that's out there too but reviews and feedback is also important. Our writing is a part of us, something we like and value about ourselves and the more positive feedback we get, the better we feel; the "I want to be valued for what I like about myself" part of our minds gets a boost. So I think there's nothing bad about "wanting reviews". I love getting reviews, I feel better about myself every time someone new likes my story.
I hope your muse comes back soon.

And I'm going to keep my fingers crossed tomorrow from the other side of the pond. I hope all those sleezeballs will get booted out of office.
