Well, there's nothing to prevent someone from applying one overall reverb overtop of the stuff that's already there.

The single biggest problem with use of reverb plugins lies in the frequency domain.

Often it is best to have the reverb applied for only the frequencies of around 700Hz and up, to prevent muddiness and such.

Some plugins do that automatically, others, it may be necessary to place an instance of EQ of some sort in front of the reverb plugin and set it like an electronic crossover, cutting everything below about the 700Hz mark on down, with 6dB per octave slope being considered the most "musical" sounding.

This will mimic what was done in the old analog echo chambers and plate reverbs.

Amount of reverb is also a problem for the neophyte.

I teach a simple method for starters, after getting the above situation down pat, I tell the student to turn the reverb up until they hear it. --And then cut that figure by one half.
