Between 00:50 and 1:03 there is some odd aliasing. It sounds like jitter to me. It starts to occur again at 1:45. It doesn't sound right so I'm assuming it's not intended. Could be a plugin that is "soft" clipping. At any rate, it doesn't sound good. Is anything going into the red? It could also be a phase issue. I think increasing your buffers would probably solve some of this. It may not but it's worth a shot.
You could really tighten up the electric rhythm toward the climax. It just sounds a bit sloppy. Depending on what DAW you are using this could either be a cinch or a chore.
Try not compressing everything so much. Let the string pad breathe. Give it some space. Reverb even. I know it's not popular to use reverb these days but it really can add some life to your mix if you use it right. It has a very narrow stereo spread. The song itself sounds good. Very radio friendly.

Hiya Bill. Sounds good to me. What's that gap at 00:10 though? Not impressed with the splash you use in the acoustic part, needs a better sample.
When the rockin starts at 2:04, the drums get buried. You need to sort the levels out there: eq, pan stuff around so you have a clearer image.
Pretty good effort though.
Cheers
