I like the softness of the mix. There's a few things that jump out at me on first listen.
-The vocal feels too small and distant for the song. It's not the reverb so much as the level in the mix. It feels like a point in the distance. I do like the back ground vocal effect. It makes it feel like there's more than one background vocal and it's a nice stereo effect without sounding too artificial.
-Overall there's a little too much low/low mid build up. I think it's probably mostly in the acoustics. Also in the BGV in the last chorus.
-There's a weird resonating sound in the organ. It's gets a little loud and distracting early on in the song starting before the first chorus and very end.
-I do like the soft sound of the overall mix but I think this song needs more to keep the listener awake and interested. Like you said it's very relaxing which is totally fine but lyrically and emotionally it need some more to make an impact on the listener. This mix is too comfortable, in a way.
I like that you're experimenting with limiters and compressors. This is certainly time and place to do it.
Hope that helps.
