"...the reader doesn’t have a sense of place and time and mood — all critical for your story. But with too much, your story will bog down and get boring. Get in. Give the telling detail. Then get out. Don’t drown in your descriptions (or your research). Create a world where your characters can live and breathe, but not vegetate."
I think it is difficult to balance it. You never know how the readers are going to react. Sometimes you think the descriptions are adequate but the readers fall asleep. That probably relies on experience.
