I definitely like it, especially the gradual addition of instruments that happens from 2:45 forward. I feel like that entire section should be in the sound track to something. The addition of synth at 1:40-ish is pretty abrupt. After a few seconds it sounds good, but definitely knocked me out of the song for a moment. A bit gentler there might be good. The track kind of feels like it ends at 2:40-ish and a new one starts right after. Sounds good, but also sounds like two tracks instead of one, like those albums where song 1 blurs a bit into song 2.
Like you said, a bit of tweaking for polish, but I do really like it.
