It’s often centered around an “I don’t like that” or “you shouldn’t do that” approach. For this reason, it is more likely to trigger that knee-jerk defensive response you describe. Providing a critique is much more difficult; it requires thoughtful analysis and recommendations for future change. A critique is more likely to have the best interests of the recipient at heart, and thus, is more likely to be received with appreciation.
