Ask for examples of good reviews to emulate. Look at the PR without comments first, and give your own review. Then compare with the original review, and see what areas you emphasized more, and emphasized less than the original review. Talk with the original reviewer, and ask about mindset behind why they asked for the changes they did.

Also, read a lot of code reviews. Just like reading a lot of code is helpful for becoming a better developer, reading a lot of reviews is helpful for becoming a better reviewer.
