Wrong to reverb the whole sequence ?

I have an orchestral piece made up of synth multi tracks.
I apply reverb to the finished piece and it sounds ....crappy.
Should I be applying reverb or/and echo to just the sections
ie strings/brass/ percussion individually in various degrees ?

Other synth orchestral pieces just seem to have good reverb added
but it won’t work for me.
Is simply applying reverb to the master outputs of the final mix not the way to do
it ?

Any help or links much appreciated.
 
Thanks Gtoboy...two great articles....I see where I’m going wrong.
Also as described in one the articles...the amount of reverb depending on pace of the music...excellent !
 
Global reverb just gets swampy and difficult to make sound nice. I simply add reverb to the instruments I pick that don't have it already - many already do, but some favourites are dry - so they get treated, but the already big ones don't.
