Can I make a code review in TFS without a request?

Can I perform a code review of my peer's check-in in TFS without an explicit request?

In other words, if I've got a notification about check-in, can I make a comment after having viewed a differences if I feel like they are needed?

I cannot see such an option inside web diff view linked from a notification email. And it looks like there's no mentions about such option and/or workflow in TFS documentation.

How do I assign a code review?

At the top of the team page, click Settings. In the left sidebar, click Code review. Select Enable auto assignment. Under "How many team members should be assigned to review?", use the drop-down menu and choose a number of reviewers to be assigned to each pull request.

In Visual Studio 2012, go to Source Control Explorer and view the history for an item or folder. When you see the list of changesets, right click one of them and select the 'Request Review' option

Sounds like you are after lightweight code commenting. This is available now in TFService and will be part of TFS 2013 on-premise.

Take a look at Review Assistant - an alternative code review tool to built-in one. It's well-integrated into VS, so you won't experience a major UX shift.

It supports adding "ad-hoc" comments while browsing the code of your peers. And it's not necessary to request a review in this case.
