Links should be meaningful even when read out of context.
Assistive technologies and other software (e.g. spiders) extract links
from pages for their own purposes. Screen readers for example can list all
the links in a page. Blind users can jump through links and they shouldn't
be forced to explore the context to have a clue what a link is.
When read out of context, a link text like "Click here" doesn't really
make any sense.
See in the plugins repo, when following one of the rating links, for
example:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hello-dolly/reviews/?filter=1

In this case, I'd suggest to just remove the words "Click here to" and use
"See all reviews" for the link text.
