Pretty much right, yep.

I mean, a successful influence roll improves the initial Reaction roll result one category (from Neutral to Good, for example), while a failed roll might not alter it all, a critical fail might drop it one category and a critical success might raise it two categories.

I think that's how it works; as I say, it's been a long while since I read the reaction rules, as I tend to play much faster and looser than that with NPC reactions.
