And the Ballyhale Shamrocks man revealed how he celebrated his latest individual accolade.
"Celebrating my 36th birthday along with picking up an All Star award and getting a new coffee machine. A great day," he revealed on Instagram.
Reid is the oldest All Star winner in hurling since 1983, when both Skehan and Frank Cummins were more senior than the Ballyhale Shamrocks man is now.
By winning his seventh, Reid is headed only by Henry Shefflin (11), DJ Carey, Tommy Walsh, Pat Spillane (nine each) and Colm Cooper (eight) across both codes.
