I don't know you and I've only read, like, on of your stories but I think you're a good writer.
I'm not going to say this is just one person's review or whatever because I think this is an excellent, honest review. They're telling you that your writing is fantastic and that this piece is excellent, it's just not heart-felt enough. If I got a review like that I'd be going back to look at it and seeing what I could do to improve it. Then I'd be emailing this person and begging them to beta-read for me.
If something isn't up to your usual standard, wouldn't you rather know? If there's a way you can improve, don't you want to?
I know when you first read something like this it can sound harsh but please, please try going back to your story with an outsiders perspective. Please?
