Flattery will end up classifying you a fan; to be respected for your acumen, you will need to get into the skin of the achievement and praise that which would have been difficult to achieve.

However, you need to be true to yourself--unmerited praise WILL sound like flattery and might sometimes prove to be counterproductive. So would be the case with criticism too--carping never did help anybody.

If the person never criticizes the person's discernment is called into question and the value of his/her appreciation is lost. So I guess something like 80% appreciation and 20% criticism is right formula to hit the popularity charts.
