Composition

Written by all five members of the band, "Reflected" comments on the false lure of Hollywood glitz. [4] “The lyrics were stupid,” Alice Cooper says. “It was that fake, quasi-spiritual 60s thing. We didn’t know what we were talking about.” [2]

Legacy

The band performed the song during a party scene in the film Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970). [5]

Both the riff and part of the melody were recycled for "Elected", which appeared on their 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies .
