Sounds good Dave, a polished almost 80's sounding mix with the snare verb.
I noticed that the vocals are very compressed sounding and really dry. It seems like they're fighting to dominate the mix. I would add some more reverb and a short mono delay just to help put the vocals more into the mix.
The drums sound great, punchy and full sounding. The room is a cool effect, but the snare seems to lack some density and body to it. Adding some low end saturation would help with that without using too much eq overall.
While the mix does sound good, it seem somewhat sterile and lacks a certain level of dirt and crunch. I found using a driving a console emulation plugin just on the edge of break up and hit it with some compression from an ask buss comp emulation and some tape saturation gave it some punch and grit without compromising clarity.
Overall your mix sounds good, it needs some refining.
Cheers,

Mixing is way more art and soul than science. We don’t really know what we’re doing. We do it because we love music! It’s the love of music first. Eddie Kramer
