When Is Too Much Too Much?

Recently, I submitted a chapter from Soul Eaters—Book Two of The Ecto-Files to one of my writers groups, and the biggest, or most popular, critique I received was that I used too many words to illustrate scenes, characters, places and the like.

One of the goals I try to achieve when I write a chapter, aside from checking off the boxes in the scene card, is that I should have at least 3,000 words for it to be considered a full chapter. I know that this seems a trivial goal, but it is what it is. When I write the next draft of this chapter, I will definitely keep this critique in mind.

My question for my readers and the aspiring writers on this site is, "When is too much too much?" Can the prose we write be too flowery, too lengthy, too monotonous? Please let me know in the comments.
