The printed text on Reconnaissance mentions that once a creature is untapped by Reconnaissance, it doesn't deal or receive combat damage this turn
Since the current rule text on Reconnaissance is "0: Remove target attacking creature you control from combat and untap it.", the ability doesn't prevent the creature from dealing damage in a second combat step that would occur, let's say, by activating the ability of Combat Celebrant.
I could attack with Combat Celebrant, exert it, deal damage, untap it with Reconnaissance, attack with it again during the second combat phase, deal damage again and untap it again at end of combat with Reconnaissance.

Two notes about "(That creature neither deals nor receives combat damage this turn.)":
A) That is not part of the only rules text that matters.
108. Cards
108.1. Use the Oracle card reference when determining a card’s wording. A card’s Oracle text can be
found using the Gatherer card database at Gatherer.Wizards.com .
B) That was never part of any rules text anyway.
207.2. The text box may also contain italicized text that has no game function.
207.2a Reminder text is italicized text within parentheses that summarizes a rule that applies to that
card. It usually appears on the same line as the ability it’s relevant to, but it may appear on its
own line if it applies to an aspect of the card other than an ability.
Since the current rule text on Reconnaissance is "0: Remove target attacking creature you control from combat and untap it.", the ability doesn't prevent the creature from dealing damage in a second combat step that would occur, let's say, by activating the ability of Combat Celebrant.
I could attack with Combat Celebrant, exert it, deal damage, untap it with Reconnaissance, attack with it again during the second combat phase, deal damage again and untap it again at end of combat with Reconnaissance.
All of this is correct ?
Yes, that is correct.

Why bother with mere rulings when so many answers can be found in the Rules?
