Should I have a Dedicated Power Plane on My PCB

During my last design I used a dedicated layer/plane for power. But during the design review the engineer asked me to remove the dedicated plane and just route the power around. And use that plane for ground. Wanted to know when is right or wrong to use a dedicated plane for power, need your insight on this. Thanks.
