That one is quite nice. Odd shape, but with adverts they often can be that way to suit the publication.

Not bad but the product name isn't visible enough. Get some light on it.

Lazy shoop is lazy. It's pretty obvious that you just mirrored the bottles for the reflections. Light doesn't operate in just two dimensions, you might want to put those bottles on a glossy surface and study their reflections from different angles, or set up your lighting properly so you don't have to.

If you're gonna pull that shit anyway you could at least fix that clipped side of the rear bottle's reflection.

Is there a rule that all product photography must be on a reflective surface?

You know the answer to that. Think harder.
