Hi, Don! I used to mix all the time with Reaper when I started and it's a very good DAW! Now I use more Studio One but once in a while I give one a go with Reaper. So good choice!!

There are a few things that need to be improved in my opinion (mainly because I had the same problem when I mixed this song!!) The esses are too present in the vox. Probably you're using one on the lead vocal but the background vocals suffer the same problem. I once read that for the Bvocals you can make them lisp completely and it won't be noticed as long as they play along with the lead vox. So maybe that will solve the problem... or at least it did to me!

When the drums start at the end of the song, the vocals are too low and they get lost in the mix. That's a very easy thing to fix

There's also something in the strings I don't like but I can't figure out what it is. It is some kind of frequency that it's annoying me and I believe it's in the cello. But I'm not sure...

Thanks for having a listen juanjose !
I used too much reverb and compression especially on the vocals, spent 90% on trying to get the vocal to sound right ,also should have use a reference track .
