I have never known any routers to fail from overheating.  Mine are on 
24hours and
have been for 4 years now.  DLINK, Netgear and Thomson.  All perfectly fine.
If you don't need your router on 24hours then it's up to you.
Some reviews are crap - it depends who wrote them.  Standard excuses are 
used
when people get bored of equipment or can't work it properly.
