Unless it's a paid advertising, I do not see a point in having a huge review site banner in your members area. Some review sites ask for a link back, but that's usually just a link somewhere, not a huge banner on a most prominent place.
And yes, it may hurt your retention if you have a generic site and do not update often, as your members can find a better option at a review site you promote. But if you have a good site with quality unique content that updates often enough, I do not think having such banner will affect your retention in a negative way. You can even get more members if you use one of the marketing tricks, such as asking your members to post a positive comment as was suggested above.
It is good for industry as a whole to have the paying audience cycled between member areas and sites that promote them, but not necessary good for some site in particular.
