All planets in the solar system reflect light from the Sun at night; remember they rotate on their axis and so during their night (or our night, for that matter) one side of a planet will always be facing the sun. Whether they're visible from an observer on Earth during our night is a different question - the inner planets, by virtue of the fact they're closer to the Sun, could be seen only in favorable conditions near sunset or sunrise (since they couldn't appear more distant than a narrow angle away from the sun in the sky, being inside Earth's orbit).
