Hey Dave.
Great mix.....really enjoyed it! I love your creativity with both intro and outro, which is frankly something i never feel inspired to do.
Really well balanced with a great overall tone. Everything does what its supposed to do, with the resulting mix being better than the sum of its parts. Excellent work!
The only thing that caught my ear was the arpeggio call and chordal return during the chorus.....to my ears the return was too narrow and felt masked on occasion by the vocal...making the centre channel a bit too busy....which kinda broke the spell for me for a moment or two and made me start listening as an engineer again rather than a music fan.
Its only a small thing but for a mix of this quality its worth mentioning I think. I'm sure you have your reasons for doing it that way and probably agonized over it.
Again, fantastic work. Cheers, Simon

Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
