Best approach to critical reflection essay structure (Master Level Business)

Hello

This is my first post and I hope that this is an appropriate place to ask. My question is about Critical Reflection for a Master Level Business and Management Assignment to

"Critically analyze, evaluate and reflect upon ...X"

Is the consensus for a formal academic essay to:
a) Blend Critical Analysis with Critical Refection throughout
b) Have separate sections for Critical Analysis and Critical Refection.

My natural preference is to go with this format
...
Critical Analysis
- Pro's - Reasons / Evidence
- Cons - Reasons / Evidence

Critical Reflection
- Reasons / Evidence

Conclusions
Recommendations
...

Instead of
...
Critical Analysis
- Pro's - Reasons / Evidence
- Critical Reflection - Reasons / Evidence

- Cons - Reasons / Evidence
- Critical Reflection - Reasons / Evidence
Conclusions
Recommendations
...

The downside appears to be that the evidence (citations and references) mostly appears during critical analysis; rather than reflection. Although there is a lot of reference material It appears I stopped citing halfway through the essay.

Many Thanks in advance

Your instincts on how to do it will make for a good critical reflection. I wonder if "works cited" is a requirement, as they so often are. You may want to follow through, for good measure, and continue your references for the second half as well. Also, be sure to add a compelling opening statement and you should be all set!! Good luck and have fun in school!
