I fully agree, we also do this and this is the design review I alluded to. That said, I think both have different purpose. The design review is more about the approach and the high-level implementation. The code review is about the implementation details. Also, a great aspect often overlooked around code review is that it's a great teaching tool if used right. Asking question go a long way and make both the reviewer and the reviewee learn. Code review is often looked to as a senior watching over what juniors are doing. In my experience it should be done for all levels and even juniors should review seniors PR as they can bring novel perspective and at least learn from the code by reviewing it.
