Critical reception



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. 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."

Chart performance



Reid turned his focus to songwriting in the 1970s, writing hits for Ronnie Milsap and charting as a guest vocalist on Milsap's "Old Folks", a number 2 single in 1988.

"Walk on Faith" was Reid's first solo single, released in 1990 on Columbia Records. It spent twenty weeks on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts.
