Can someone tell me the difference between the two words ? I searched up and found this :-https://wikidiff.com/connoisseur/critic. It says that connoisseur is a specialist in a given field and critic is someone who judges someone's work. But don't you need to be a connoisseur to be have some weight as a critic?

You’d think so, but anyone can be a critic. Some know what they’re talking about and some don’t. For example some critics have stated that the California wild fires could have been avoided with more raking.

The two words have a different focus, and may or may not overlap. A connoisseur's focus is essentially on appreciating something's qualities, while a critic's focus is identifying and announcing the good and bad qualities of something.

-@ralph.m but it says that 'connoisseur's opinions are valued/regarded' , doesn't explicitly say that connoisseurs only focus on appreciating.

@Jim so by that notion I can be a critic as well? I thought they get elected/employed based on their profound understanding of the work/event.

Yes you can. While one definition of critic uses words like “especially as a profession” Cambridge, for example, has a second def: “a person who expresses disagreement with something or disapproval of someone: ’He has been one of the most outspoken critics of this administration.’”
