In my experience, it's easier to trust someone's opinion about your art if they have history with your body of work, and have critiqued your work over time. I find that I trust a friend who's seen what I've done, and who's some times told me a piece needs changing, or there are elements that are good, etc. So when they say "that's amazing" it has past support. The first step to getting an honest critique is to show a body of work, and not just one piece. Additionally, it also helps to explain what you were trying to achieve, because artist's goals can be wildly different. A good critique is tailored to you very specifically.
