If I get it right (from posts I've seen before and the docs on the project [1]) Reason is not really "OCaml for JavaScript" but just a parser for a more appealing, mostly compatible, syntax for the OCaml. So one should be able to compile to the same targets as with traditional OCaml.
Re: Mostly compatible: I remember there were certain things that were not easily expressible with Reason (but available in the OCaml syntax) a few years ago, not sure if it is still the case.
Subjective: OCaml syntax is definitely on the weird side, although I would not call it ugly. This coming from someone who enjoys writing clojure and xslt, go figure :-p.
