Hey , first of all congratulations on finishing the challenge , now let's start
Lines
You're making great use of the ghosting method and your lines look confident, straight and smoothly drawn. Good job!
Your hatching is haphazardly done in the first boxes but it starts to be less accurate as you move forward.
I see that you didn't add any lightweight in your boxes , I know it's not a rule, but it really makes you're boxes pop and look better, also it's a good super imposed lines exercise.
Convergences
When it comes to your box constructions there's not much to point out as you've done really well and your convergences improve as you move through the challenge. There's always a thing or two to improve though, so here are a few things I believe will make your boxes better:
Sometimes your back corners are converging in pairs instead of as a set.
It would've been nice if you varied the foreshortening rate of your boxes throughout the challenge, many of your boxes are in similar perspective and most of them have their vanishing points inside the page, it would have been nice to see some more boxes with subtle convergences from you.
Varying the range of box sizes and shapes, while you attempt some different box shapes such as flat boxes and rectangular boxes it'd be nice to see some more long and rectangular boxes from you, most of your boxes are square like.
Final Thoughts
Overall, you've done really well in this challenge and have shown noticeable improvement. I believe that you're ready for the advanced box exercises, as well as Lesson 2.
Note : i also need a critique in my work so please check it out if you have the time , here is the link

Thank you :)
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
