Does Reciprocal link and link exchange are same or not?

I know that link exchange is mutual between two parties, does this also called as reciprocal linking? Explain me about reciprocal linking.

Reciprocal linking happens when two sites link back and forth to each other. Often this happens when friends who both have websites link to each other

Though they both look same but there is small difference between reciprocal links and link exchange.

Link exchange is a bigger term to define any link exchanging scheme. although Reciprocal links small term of exchanging link for some purpose (backlinks).
