[I > II or I > vii vamps invoke the strongest lydian modal harmony]
Key change was also a bit jarring to me (intended?), I'd move to a closer key and approach with a 2-5-1 to make it more seamless.
Otherwise, I enjoyed it. Glad to see people still posting here occasionally.

Thanks for the response - this is the kind of feedback I was looking for.
The harmony and bassline in the first part with the key change was the hardest for me to settle on, and I'm still not totally happy with it. I appreciate the pointers, since I'm not really familiar with composing in lydian. I'll probably continue to work with it and keep what you mentioned in mind.
