You can always check other stories on the workshop and message people who you thinks critiquing style is conducive to improving your story to try and enlist their help in getting a review. (Blacknumber1 did this with his novella length story and got some helpful critiques.)

You can also upload the story whenever you want, but understand that getting feedback/reviews can sometimes save a story from being deleted. If you feel a story is up to snuff, then feel free to upload it. (I personally like getting a feel for how the readers view a story first, but it's your choice.)
