Dealing with criticism is a vital part of being an author. You'll find the most respected authors have always responded well to criticism, and have avoided using review feeds to air their own grievances against their readers.
One tip I can offer is to be more attentive to research. It's also vital to make sure you don't have any continuity issues in your story. Attentive readers are quick to spot inconsistencies, which can happen if you're the type of writer who writes chapters out of order as they occur to you. It's fine to do this, but make sure when you're in your final drafting stages that you check the chronology of your story, and that descriptions of certain aspects remain consistent.
When I did get reviews for Live to Tell, I received them as politely as I could. I took all the feedback on board, and it helped tremendously when I was beginning to write Into the Other. Reviews are invaluable, so is feedback. If you're not willing to accept some criticism towards your work, you won't be able to grow as a writer. Always try to be humble in the face of feedback from your audience, be it from friends or strangers.
This doesn't mean you have to listen to mean comments. If you're being insulted, which isn't the same as genuine critique, do your best to ignore these comments and not respond. Readers depend so much on reviews to determine if a book is worth buying. Meta-sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic have a massive influence in dictating later box office sales. Never underestimate the power of a review. If I can give you any advice, it would be to separate constructive criticism from a genuine insult. Also, don't ignore bad reviews if they are valid and reasonably stated. Focusing on all your good reviews and ignoring any detractors doesn't go a long way to progressing as a writer.
