I have not found Digital Audio's CD reviews (of classical
material at least) particularly helpful.  I find them musically 
superficial and find that their "thermometer" rating system results 
in inconsistent and confusing comparative ratings.  

Unfortunately, I don't know of a publication that I feel I
can trust and recommend.  Therefore, considering the price of
CD's, my purchases tend to be based on either known performers
(i.e., ones whom I've heard and liked live) or recordings I've
been able to hear beforehand (generally from friends).
