You don't need to defend anything. Just accept the criticism, review it, and if there's a piece of criticism you just cannot reconcile with, keep it filed away and ignored. There is no need to tell the critiquer why you disagree unless they ask. It's your story and defending only makes both parties feel bad. However, always make sure you know why you are discarding any advice.
