Singular form, if you say it out loud you'll see how it sounds better.

Singular. If you had more than one reservation, it would be plural.
Here is a sentence where the plural would be used:
I like you plan in principle; my only reservations are that it may take too long to carry out and it is unworkable.

You should use singular form.
I like your plan in principle:my only reservation is that it may take too long to carry out.

Singular
Since you mentioned 'my only', which means you have only 1 reservation no more .. so it should be Singular

singular because you are saying you have only one and that it may take too long to carry out.
Good luck
