1. "Reply" is a word we use to tell a story or for something more business-like. It sounds a bit distant. I wouldn't use it talking to a friend about his or her response to me.
2. This sentence sounds correct but it really depends on what the meaning behind this sentence is-the situation to which you are responding.
3. This is not how we use reciprocate. To reciprocate there is like a trade between people of some sort. What are the two of you trading. Your sentences are good grammatically, but I haven't heard sentences like this but still, very good work!
