Reeve studied at the Slade under Philip Wilson Steer and Henry Tonks, who purportedly described him as the best draughtsman at the school since Augustus John. A number of his works are now in public collections, including UCLA Art Museum, the British Museum and the V & A. In 1993, his work was the subject of an exhibition at Ipswich Borough Council Museums and Galleries, which featured an introductory essay by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi.
