To 'reply' or 'reply back'?

Please advise what is grammatically correct. Reply on it's own or reply back i.e. reply back soon or reply back to me? Is reply back gramatically correct?

The verb "reply" implies "back to the sender". Adding "back" is redundant, even though it is sometimes used informally.

I agree, as the word Reply means already to come back with an answer. Also I think that another good combination with the same meaning would be I will be waiting for your reply.

It was not in vain correct to reply someone that asked about something I did ?
