This sounds like completely made up rubbish to me. Reflective surfaces definitely absorb less heat. Mirrors may however be impractical and may not reflect enough to make the missile immune.

Or have a lower melting point, making it more practical to use some sort of heat-resistant armoring? Might be pretty difficult to make something that both reflects light and is heat-resistant, no mirror reflects everything.
