blackbody radiator is defined as an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that falls on it at all frequencies over all angles of incidence.
No radiation is reflected from such an object. According to thermodynamic arguments embodied in Kirchhoff's law, a good absorber is also a good emitter.
