A critique is different from a summary, insofar as it analyzes the writing of a previous reading more than merely writing what was discussed in the story. Critiquing also differs in that it points out the strong points and weaknesses in a writing, thus making the critiquer a more objective and active reader. A critique should address the below (borrowed from this wonderful website:
what is the one most important point of the paper?
arguments for why the work is notable or novel or neither,
if the problem the paper tackles is important and or not,
if the proposed solution is potentially useful or not,
are the assumptions clearly specified and are they reasonable and practically valid,
point out additional contexts where the same idea or technology could be applied, relate the work to another paper that you find during your literature search,
have the proposed ideas been evaluated in some form, how, and how thorough is that evaluation,
identify a list of possible future research tasks to make the proposed work even better, develop a different solution strategy, or to drop some of the given assumptions, and so on.
