No.

Purchasing is the ultimate requirement.

As it is easy to simply idle a game, the time played is useless for preventing users from exploiting the Steam Family Share in order to give games more positive or negative reviews then it may otherwise have.

Hence why ownership of a game is the better solution.

How so? The family sharing is limited to each individual computer has to be signed on on that account and shared. And can be revoked from the original account owner on any pc. Exploiting it would mean that someone has tons of actual steam acc passwords... which would be just as easy to exploit on the actual person's acc....

Technically I'm sure my husband would let me post reviews on his account, he does not care to review things. But I'd rather review them on my own account.

Which, evidently, does not invalidate the potential of such a feature being exploited by other users to post flop reviews.

A suggestion, when made, requires a wide scope of viewing and its implications for all Steam users.

You may not have malicious intentions but there are some users that do, and have multiple accounts - as such, this is a payday for them.

Someone creating alt accounts to idle the game. Accounts are free and there is no limit to how many accounts one can have.

Hence why it is limited to an account that owns the game.

You are free to purchase the game's yourself, if you wish to review them on your account.

I see. it would definately be possible to create new bogus acc and then review it multiple times :(

Hang on a minute. Has purchasing the game always been a criteria in the context of it being a family shared game?
I have a review recommending Alpha Prime despite the fact that I never bought it on my own account. It's instead been shared with a family member for a long time.
In fact, if you were to investigate the review it will even state that I had the product recieved for free.
I assume this was changed at some point between then and now, since there have been very valid arguments made above as to why purchasing ultimately has to be a criteria. Otherwise I can't think of a reason why Alpha Prime would be an exception, albeit a perfectly adequate game.

Then why aren't games you played during a free weekend treated the same? I could leave review on a game I don't own and only played for 20min during a free weekend. This could lead to teh same kind of review abuse and you wouldn't even have to go through the process of setting up family share first.

You still own it, which is the main difference between owning a game and getting it shared but not owning it yourself.
Reviews even let you tell others you got the game for free.

Because playing a game on a temporary license does not mean you own the game. You must own the game, meaning there has to be a perpetual, non-temporal license on your own account.

Read again what I said: Even thou I DON'T own the game I still CAN post a review on it. That'S either a bug or some stupid oversight.

I recognize people are saying this can't be done, but I just tested it myself and was able to review every game I'd family shared. I actually found this odd as I don't recall this ever being the case but decided to try it after prof.jackie's and Mailer's comment.

https://i.imgur.com/h5RbZ0n.png <~~one such example of a game I don't own.

I tried clicking the "recieved for free" box. nope still won't let me review the game. perhaps its by dev choice? i was trying to add a positive review for "graveyard keeper" :( im sick of rewriting the review at this point

How much play time do you have?
When you say it "won't let you review the game" what does that actually mean?

You say you are able to type the review (so the "Review" box must come up for the game you are trying to review)... what happens when you click "Post Review"?

Is the "Post Review" button not there?
Is it there, but when you click it nothing happens?
Do you get an error message when you click it?
If so what does the error message say?

will not let me post.
