That counts. I do the exact same thing. There have been times when I've looked at a piece of code I wrote some time ago and say to myself, "what the hell was I thinking???".

I wish my previous employers had code reviews. It would've helped out with a lot of poorly written junk we had.

My experience with code reviews have been the following:
1) No buy-in from software managers or other senior management, so no one takes them seriously. We just say "yeah, we did a full code review" and move on.
2) They don't know how to do them at all
3) If they're done at all, they end up being personal in nature so people stop doing them
