Fuck it, I'll bite. I don't like it very much. I don't really like the main chord progression (very James Bond - although I do like how it switches up and it's a short enough track that I'm not mad at it)
I like the structure and I really like the wind section, but Megumi Hayashibara doesn't sell it at all for me. Ringo would have delivered it with a ton of attitude, and I'd like to think she would have been a lot more dynamic with her vocals - she certainly wouldn't have just whisper-sung the whole thing. This sounds like someone singing karaoke over the original track.
