Some quick impressions:
1) Nice! Very good intro.
2-3) Yawn! Had to skip through this, does nothing for me.
4) Back on track with this one, nice tune.
5-6) Bored me again. I just didn't catch on to the lounge-y, moody feeling this is probably supposed to convey.
7-9) Now we're talking. Great classics.
10) I prefer the original, strange mix.
11-13) 11 is ok, and the next two are good. 12 is probably my favorite track in this mix.
14) The Kleinenberg track left me hoping for some good finisher, like, I don't know, 'What is Love' or something. But this was a letdown and something pretty uninteresting for me.

Overall I liked quite a few parts of this, but they kept getting interrupted by track I find boring and uninteresting. This kind of made the mix seem unstructured to me. Not really your fault, that just comes from my very subjective perception of the tracks.
Remember that this is not what I usually listen to, so these statments are really just an uninformed opinion.

Checked it. I liked most of the tracks (especially the ones I knew beforehand that I'd like ). Some of them were a bit drab for me, or just weren't my cup of tea. I also thought the flow was questionable in some instances shifting from breaks and four-to-the-floor too much.

A few of those transitions were bang on, and when they were they were realllly solid.

Overall this gets a mixed view from me, but more often than not the tracks themselves made up for any other shortcoming.
