This could give you a good indicator as to whether or not it is finished. Their reaction, or lack there of may tell you to change some things. Often, we think a song is not done, but it is. This happened to me with "Tender". I wanted to do so much more, e.g. rework the verse melodies on the piano, play with the phrasing, etc... but everytime I played it, people truly loved it, so the job was done for me.
