Hey, I just posted my first set earlier this week too, but mine was done last April, so I think I've got enough experience to give you a solid review, but to be fair you can review mine if you want, too.
Your beatmatching is right on, but sometimes the first track will end and the second track sounds quiet, maybe because you need to drop the volume of the first track a little more, or raise the second track's volume a little more? I'd try different ways of fading out the mid/low/highs if you've got that capability on your mixer too. I prefer most of the time to mix my new track in at about 80% volume with the bass killed, then push it to 100% volume while I'm dropping the previous to 80% volume. Then I switch the basses. But it all depends on the track.
Your first transition I really like is between tracks 6 and 7. Tracks 1-5 are solid tracks, but they all sound so similar that the first part of your set feels boring to me, even though Exactly is a fantastic song. Something I'm still working on is making my set feel like a story. It's important for transitions to be smooth, but there needs to be a definite change in the feel of the set as it progresses. Your second half of the set is much better in this respect.
Overall, its a nice trance set, but it feels like something is missing. Keep hittin' the decks and I'm sure you'll figure it out!
