I'm a composer too, but my music is avant-garde and I received criticisms because is avant-garde. My opinion is: my work is to compose, the critic's job is to analyse. If the criticism is seriously right or wrong, I read the critic, I respect it, I profit some ideas, I ignore anothers, but I continue with my style.
