The radiative process of inverse Compton reflection, in which an external flux of soft photons is incident upon a hot plasma of large scattering depth and small absorption depth is investigated. Over a large range of frequency, the emergent spectrum is a universal, quasi power law, whose slope is insensitive to any parameters. Inverse Compton reflection also produces strong energy amplification. This process may have implications for models of X-ray sources in active galactic nuclei.
