Depending on the situation... there are differences between criticism, voice of opinion[comments], mistake nit picking spectator and of course downright flaming[insult]. You must learn to distinguish them.
If a person would give critical analysis and instruction for you to build up/develop your style in art, that is what I called "criticism" and that person is a true critic. but there are people who meddle with your style, then it's just people who are voicing out their opinion[point of view] and those kind of audience will push you to change your style just to suite their tastes... also there are those who are bitter/hard people who can't see anything but mistakes from other artists hard works, they are just "pain in the @$$" for us artists.
Finally there are some jack@$$ who won't even look at your art and simply call it worthless trash[flaming]
It's up to you when to listen to certain criticism, cause even critics can go wrong or make mistakes. if you think their advice can help you improve... then accept it, if not? then let it go and be thankful for their time :D
