I only record vocals so I'm thinking about getting a reflection shield and that should be good enough... or will I need other treatment?
That would help but it really is a band aid. May be think about building something like our screen panel as it can function as other things like bass traps and so on when you mix.
GIK Acoustics: GIK Screen Panel
Basically 6 foot panels 3" thick hinged together.

Also, I read that a room with no carpet is best to record in. I have always heard the opposite, so I'm not sure. In that case, I have a finished basement available, but I didn't choose that room because I was thinking it would be bad to record in because it's, well, an untreated basement.
Carpet is fine if that is what you have. The problem is it only absorbs high end so it can throw the room off balance. The goal is to treat the room so it is balanced.
