Another very accomplished mix, this. Generally sensible balancing throughout, and a very pleasant and airy ambience to the whole production. As far as criticisms go, again it's all pretty small stuff. My main thing would be that it feels like the guitar's got rather lost (especially in mono), and I'd love to have more of this padding out the mix's overall tone. If you did that, I think you might also be able to get away with slightly less of the reverb/delay effects, which sound just a touch overcooked to me. It's a question of taste, I suppose, but I think I'd rather hear more sustain from the instruments themselves, rather than from the added effects.
I'm also not convinced you've really nailed the bass track as well as it could be yet -- those low-end inconsistencies are still there, and don't always support the direction of the music. Could the vocal be a little more tightly tuned too? I'd certainly have edited a few corner of that myself.
Still, it's got to be said that this is definitely good work, and certainly beats the preview mix for me!
