Reflections are necessary to give a sense of space, weight, and presense to the sound. The goal is to tame refelctions, not completely eliminate them. This reduces reverberation time (echo) and can help to fix the frequency/phase response of a room. A total lack of reflection would not be considered a good thing and would make music from a stereo lifeless and more headphone-like in presentation. Sort of like inverting the principle behind binaural recordings.
