There are two close meanings, yes.
Give up the reins means to give up control of something (a firm or government, usually).
You can give up control to somebody else (which is usually the case). However, there can be situations where you give up control of something and just let it run free, without giving control (the reins) to somebody else.

Funny I thought they were the same, at least close, no?
