Duplicate TEXT Layer.
Move the new layer below.
Use Flip Tool to reverse vertically.
On reversed Text Layer, Add Layer Mask (White) , Select Text Layer. (This additional step will give better reflective effect though is not necessary)

Change Foreground to White.
Select Gradient Tool - Foreground to Transparency. Adjust desired opacity.
