Good mix overall.
Strikes me that the vocals could use a bit more body. The backing vocals could stand to come up a hair in that first run. I like them being subdued like that but they still need to be forward enough so that you're not guessing at what they're saying. I would also look at bringing up the mid-range on the bass guitar. That's the main driver of the groove and the first rule of a good mix should generally be, "Find the most important part of the mix, what drives the groove, what compels you to listen and emphasize it!" Also, you'll want to remember to trim randomness from the ends of a tune (like the comments she made.) Passable for a demo but not for a final as these mixes are intended to be.
My 43 cents. (Inflation is a bear, ain't it?)
