I was not familiar with the song, sure am old enough, so I Youtubed Croce and listened to These Dreams.
I think the recording quality is excellent and you do a good job with your cover, instrument(s) and vocals. But I really don't care for the song, which is absolutely nothing against you, I didn't like Croce's version either.
It's a disjointed piece to me, the music, especially with two guitars is very nice, but Croce's lyrics and phrases don't complement the music, and the "hmmms" are like he was too lazy to add lyrics.
So Rick, I think you did a very commendable job on a difficult song. The same production value on one of his better known songs would be a winner.
