Don't be downhearted! You might like to ask him whether he meant that the music lacked feel or whether he thought it was your playing.
I'm a very average (or worse!) bass player, and often in practice or when I'm nervous I'm focussed on the notes, the fingering, listening to the rest of the band and making sure my timing is right. In short doing my best to be good technically and support the rest. In a gig, which is going well, people up dancing - then the music just seems to flow and I start to do things with the beat and some of the runs that just doesn't come in a studio. I've listened to recordings of myself and the only word I have for the difference is 'feel'. Really good guys can turn it on at will.
If it's the music he's talking about that's much more subjective and thank God we don't all like the same thing. I guess there are few of us that don't engage almost instantly with a pumping beat and bass groove, or soaring melodies, whether they come from a choir and orchestra or a wailing Les Paul at the hands of the Mr Top Hat!
