Difference between evaluate and critically evaluate?

What are the main differences between being asked to evaluate a statement or question etc compared to being able to critically evaluate something?

Thanks.

When a question asks you to critically evaluate, you should include a strength of a feature + the corresponding weakness of that feature, rather than just stating a strength and weakness when asked to evaluate.

You should already be doing that anyway.
