Personally, I need to have my own mistakes thrown into my face, so I can see where I did wrong and what I need to work on more. But then again, I also need to be shown the good parts, for otherwise I would not distinguish those parts as being good and I would not know to use them again in future writings. But since by default anyone's tendency is to believe their work is good (this Is the first tendency, after one finishes writing a piece in a more or less draft version, one's kind'a attached to it like to a child and can not think it bad), I incline to appreciate a little more reviews that point out the mistakes. Say... 55% tearing down and 45% building up :) A good (really good) review is one that point out both flaws and strenghts.
