Song is well composed, good vocals, performances all seem in order. I wasn't crazy about the synths. The rhythm synth on the left seemed incongruous with the rest of the arrangement. The lead synth solo was unexciting and a bit generic. There wasn't much change in the energy level of the song from verse to chorus, or from one verse to the next. The result was that I was ready for the song to end before it did. Maybe simplify the arrangement in the early verses, or add some excitement to the chorus? That's all I've got.
 
I like your song except the chord change in the verse is too predictable to me. The synths sound bland but they do add interest. Vocals and melodies are good. Mix is well balanced and it sounds like you got a good recording at source. I'd dirty up the synths and make them growl more, but that's just me
 
Had 4 or 5 crits on the synth being too prominent. Gonna remix at sdome point for sure. As far as excitement, not certain this song is built that way.

No lift on the Chorus or one of my soaring Chorus'....Have to sit on that and accomplish it through instrumentation. Not sure which way I'll go...Thanks for the comments & received...
 
I might do some automation on the vocal, it sounds nice but doesn't quite cut through sometimes when it gets softer. The arpeggiator I'd probably push back a little. I think a bit (more?) reverb in places (vocal is pretty dry for example) might help give things some space. Kind of getting overly picky now though, it seems like a nice mix to me as is.
