There's nothing wrong with playing freshly recorded stuff for family and friends... we do it all the time! Let me suggest some things you can do to get the most out of it.
1) Note their ages. Kids won't lie... look at their faces and body language.. do they get up and start dancing or do they start watching TV? Adults have a hard time making their body language lie too... do they tap their feet? etc.
2) Don't tell them it's you at first... tell em it's something you found lol. Then ask for their opinion and see how they react when you say it's you.
3) Ask them to be honest. Sounds like a 'duh' thing but you will be surprised how different the response will be just by asking them to be honest!
Gather up all of your data and use that to decide if you need to try again or if you have a hit on your hands! If the kids were jumping all over the house, but the adults were like oh, just another one of your lil hobbies I have to smile about (lol), then you know your audience. Happy Recording!
