If you're going to revive a girl group song from the Sixties, best to stay way from the Crystals' (and indeed the Ronettes and Shangs') oeuvre. The guitar solo was amusing, but the band aren't the Wrecking Crew, and the vocalist isn't close to being LaLa Brooks. Would have been a whole lot better if they had applied themselves to a new pastiche, rather than showing themselves up by meh-ing a classic.
I don't think that's vinyl crackle, I think that's oddly recorded percussion/handclaps. The horns are a bit naff, to my augmented ears, and the backing overall has a slightly different mood to the vocals - the former falling asleep, the latter waking up - which I quite enjoyed. It's an odd duck, but it's not bad, and I think just enough to win here.
