Your Tapback is visible to everyone in the conversation who is using iMessage with macOS Sierra or later or iOS 10 or later. Other iMessage users see 'Liked' or 'Laughed at' or 'Emphasised”, for example, followed by the text of that message.
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch also have Tapback, as well as other message effects available only on those devices. Most of these effects look the same on your Mac when you receive them. Others appear as a description of the effect, such as ”(sent with Loud Effect)”.
