I don't think that the fact that you receive criticism means anything. A smart person can find criticism for anything.

The goal isn't to create work that isn't criticised but works that achieves a purpose. Maybe work that sells. Maybe work that influences people. Not work that isn't criticised.

If you get criticism, ask yourself whether that criticism is relevant to the goals that you want to achieve.
