Explanation
"Spared no more than a glance" signals a hasty, superficial look, given "much to their disappointment". "Perfunctory" means carried out with minimum effort or reflection, matching that cursory glance. "Reflective" (thoughtful) is the opposite of what the sentence conveys. "Precise", "engaging" and "egregious" describe neither brevity nor superficiality. "Perfunctory" alone fits.
