Morphology
The phrase 'performance review' is a straightforward composition: 'review' (an official examination) applied to 'performance' (the quality of task execution), so the meaning 'an assessment of someone's work' is directly inferable from the constituents. This noun+noun construction and the idea of evaluating performance is cross-linguistically common and does not involve idiomatic or metaphorical shift, making it clear to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Performance review comes from the simple idea of looking back at someone's work: performance is what you do and a review is a careful 'check' of that work. So, a performance review is a formal meeting where a manager looks over your past work and talks about strengths and things to improve.
