Your reverb choices are pretty dramatic, and in that respect they're ear-catching which is a benefit in the abstract. However, in this case I'm not sure they really support the song. For example, it seems very odd having the main vocal so far upfront when the chorus vocals and "now or never" are so reverberant. The reverb on the guitars also seems to obscure their character rather too much, without adding enough of a production hook in their own right.
Your overall tonality and general balance decisions aren't bad at all, though, which makes me take your left-field reverb decisions much more seriously than I would had the balance itself been suspect. I'm all for people having different mix aesthetics and visions for the same mix, so I'm not saying that you shouldn't have long reverbs on a mix like this as some kind of rule. However, you've not quite convinced me of your vision in this specific implementation. Thanks for the mind-broadening experience, though!
