looking to pay a professional to listen with a critical ear

I am working on my first album. It is 7 tracks (~30 minutes), a mixture of EDM and piano. I recorded them all in Logic Pro, mixed them myself, and mastered with Logic's Mastering Assistant. This is my first time doing this. I am very much an amateur/hobbyist and my goal is to improve my skills over time.

I am not looking for a career in music. My target audience is simply my circle of friends and family. With that in mind, I want to get my songs to an acce ... ptable level to put on Spotify so I can easily share them with people. This is all very DIY, and I expect them to end up sounding a bit DIY, I just want to deal with any obvious issues I cannot currently hear/understand.

I don't have any friends who know about music production, so I can't get decent feedback on my mixes (beyond "I like that song").

I am looking to pay a professional to listen with a critical ear and tell me if anything obviously wrong jumps out at them. Any clear issues with the composition, arrangement, sound design, mix, or mastering, etc. There are times when I feel I have created lush rich sounds, and other times those same sounds just sound like mud. I have listened to them so much I can no longer tell up from down.

I will provide the 7 mastered tracks. Happy to work in whatever way suits you, but written feedback on each of the 7 tracks that points out issues or makes suggestions would be ideal.
