Question on labeling of images with critical text

Hi,

Our team is developing a site that rates a certain product.(we didn't
design it and it has been approved by the client)

The ratings are delivered graphically dynamically generated using
static images. There is no text in the design.

Screen reader users:
Would the preference be to use an ALT tag on each image with critical
information, or text that only screen readers can view with basic
information in the alt tag or both?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance
