  That depends a lot in the type of glass and its coating layer.
  There are certain types of glass surface finishes which exhibit a very
pronounced variable reflection. When you look at the glass right from
the front, it reflects some, but you can mostly see through it. However,
when you look at it at a sharp angle, it's almost like a mirror.

  Next time you walk on a street, try looking at the store windows from
different angles... :)
