In the French Revolutionary Wars, Reeve was captain of HMS ''Captain'' with the Mediterranean Fleet under Lord Hood. In October 1793 he was ordered, along with HMS ''Bedford'' and HMS ''Speedy'', to attack a French frigate ''Modeste'' anchored in the harbour at Genoa. The Raid on Genoa was a success, and six days later Reeve discovered and captured the abandoned French ship ''Impérieuse'' at La Spezia. 〔James, William, ''The Naval History of Great Britain, Volume 1, 1793–1796, pp.87–88〕 Reeve was promoted to vice-admiral in 1799, and retired to his home near Ipswich. On 5 May 1803 Reeve was riding in a chaise near his home when the horse bolted.
