Yes—polarizing filters can often reduce reflections from glass, just as they can with water, because reflections from non-metallic surfaces often become polarized.

They work best when the reflection is viewed at an oblique angle, especially near Brewster’s angle, so you’ll usually get the strongest effect when shooting somewhat from the side rather than straight on. Rotate the filter while looking through the viewfinder or live view to find the point where the reflection is minimized.

A circular polarizer (CPL) and a linear polarizer have essentially the same photographic effect on reflections. The main difference is camera compatibility: CPLs are preferred on many modern cameras because they behave better with autofocus and metering systems. A CPL is basically a linear polarizer plus an extra layer that makes the transmitted light easier for the camera to handle.

So for practical use: yes, use a polarizer, rotate it for best effect, and expect the result to depend on the angle and the nature of the reflection. It can greatly reduce reflections, but not every reflection will disappear completely.
