Great excercise for testing your animation skills for once. This is classic. Anyway, I can see you have the concept about stretch and squash, but it isnt applied how it's supposed to. One frame before landing is the stretch. The landing is squashed, then when it bounces it's stretched too. You made the first 2 right, the 3rd one lacks the stretchness and it looks weird/without speed. That's why the last part of this animation is wrong, it's too much time in the air of the same trayectory, and lacks gravity. Then again, you will develop all this with practice. Keep going =)
Hrmmm.... well other than a little clean up (you need to keep your ball's mass consistent. You are using the onion skin, right?) the spacing on the beginning of the fall neds a little tweaking. But other than that the movement's pretty good.
There's also a pretty helpful chart on timing and spacing here

Critique of what? A wasteful animation with bad craftsmanship of an ellipse?
