Tactically:

  • Clarify with the reviewer which specific points cause constant comments — perhaps a live discussion would help quickly align the approach.
  • Break down large PRs into smaller ones to simplify review and receive feedback faster.
  • Use checklists and coding standards to minimize subjective remarks.

Strategically:

  • Implement clear criteria for PR readiness to avoid constant rework.
  • Discuss with the team and reviewer the review process, possibly agree on iteration limits or review time.
  • Improve code quality before review through local checks, autotests, and pair programming.
  • Train the team on unified standards and conduct regular synchronization on the review process.
