No worries, critiquing mixes helps me spotting my own mistakes later
Reverb is a tricky thing because it can be dodgy and it depends on how you set it up (If the send is pre or post fader, or even pre-FX if you have the option). If the verb is on an aux track, don't hesitate adding plugins before and after!
Just consider that if you're using several verbs feeding from the vocals, there's a lot of frequencies around the voice area building up, and carving space in the reverb will help it come out more naturally, and leave space for the voice track. The verb unit can also create useless low end rumble, so a HPF is always a good option. You can also compress the signal before it hits the reverb, if it's too dynamic, or don't do it, and let the voice feed the reverb more in the louder parts (instead of making it more wet in the choruses, for example). Your choice.
