The Compton reflection of X-ray photons by an accretion disk has been proposed to play a role in active galactic nuclei and galactic black hole candidates as well as in binary systems that contain a neutron star as a compact accreting object. We present HEXE (20-200 keV) and TTM (2-30 keV) data of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) system Sco X-1 and of Cyg X-3 and discuss the results of Compton reflection fits. We find that a reflected component from an incident bremsstrahlung spectrum can describe the spectra of Sco X-1, while a Compton-reflected component (assuming an incident power-law spectrum) is not required for Cyg X-3.
