This cheesecake is too complicated to make. I don't have the time or patience to deal with all the steps.

This cheesecake is way too expensive to make. I can buy a perfectly good cheesecake at the store for half the price.

I'm not a fan of orange and cream cheese together. I think the flavors clash.

The orange swirl is a great idea, but I found that it made the cheesecake a bit too tart.

This cheesecake is a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cheesecake.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. It was still good, but not great.
