Thom Owens of AllMusic cited "Walk on Faith" as a standout track on Reid's album, calling it a "surging hit [single]" and one of the "best moments" on the album.[1] Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly also described the song favorably, saying, "His upbeat songs ('Walk on Faith') work as both thoughtful and intimate vignettes and as snappy radio rotation."[2]
Reid turned his focus to songwriting in the 1970s, writing hits for Ronnie Milsap[3] and charting as a guest vocalist on Milsap's "Old Folks", a number 2 single in 1988.
