This is a head bobber for sure.
 
I like that middle part
 
Yes, the horns are synthy, but they do convey an implicit intention of where the song would go with a real horn section.
I like the bass
the keys,
the drums
this is a catchy tune, and as I said, a head bobber., for me anyway.
 
I think it could be shortened by 1:30, focus on the bits you really find strongest.
 
nice ending, there is a little steeley dan quality to this, also open up those vocals, get your heart into it!

I didn't immediately think Steely Dan, but I did think Donald Fagan, so close. Chorus melody reminds me of Jan Hammer more than Becker/Fagan though. Mix sounds great, piano in particular has excellent clarity and space. Everything EQ'd very nicely. Like the slapback on the vocal. 

I like it too! I thought Steely Dan second, Bill Withers first. Really, though, it's original first. Got some cool vibes in these references.
 
MAybe just a tad bit more reverb on piano (with a healthy pre-delay so the main note attack is not blurred) 'cause right now it's sticking out as much drier. Also, take off a little reverb vocal? If you want to thicken your vocal, you could instead render just your vocal, compress the crap out of the copy, then feed it back in to the mix at a lower volume. That old chestnut.
 
I thought the drums sounded great, and the tune definitely had a swing in it. Very nice.

Bio, daryl, Jessie, Sharke & Emerald-Thanks so much!
It's not reverb on the vocals.  It's delay.  I've taken the advise of some who suggested more verb on the piano and less (delay) on the vocals.  You're right.  It does sound better.  The new mix is not up yet (as of this post time 4/4/17 @10:00 EDT), but I will post it soon.  Thanks again!

Hey John,
 
Really nice track! I liked the whole thing. This mix is quite a bit better than what I heard you do even 6 months ago. Well done!
 
Regards,
Dan
