midrule and toprule in table too long

Question

I am having trouble with reducing the horizontal lines in following table. I'm using a custom layout that was given to me and it looks like it reduces the standard page width. The horizontal lines I have added to my table are too long as a result. I've seen various answers here using \begin{tabular*}{@{} .... @{}} for example, but none work for me and I feel there should be a simpler way.

I have attached my code and a screenshot and would be very grateful for help.

P.S If someone knows how to reduce the horizontal space between two word clouds in the same row, please also let me know. Thanks

You shouldn't use the m type just for vertically centering the images.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\centering

\begin{tabular}{@{} l c c @{}}
\textbf{Aspect}  & \textbf{Negative Reviews} & \textbf{Positive Reviews} \\
\midrule
Look
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-a}
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-b}
\\
\midrule
Smell
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-a}
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-b}
\\
Feel
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-a}
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-b}
\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}

\end{table}

\end{document}

You get a table as wide as the text block with tabular*:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\centering

\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} l c c @{}}
\textbf{Aspect}  & \textbf{Negative Reviews} & \textbf{Positive Reviews} \\
\midrule
Look
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-a}
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-b}
\\
\midrule
Smell
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-a}
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-b}
\\
Feel
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-a}
& \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth,valign=c]{example-image-b}
\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular*}

\end{table}

\end{document}
