First off, let's call the verb with a reflexive pronoun a pronominal verb. All reflexive verbs are pronominal verbs, but not all pronominal verbs are reflexive.
A pronominal verb almost always means something different than a verb without the reflexive pronoun. Pronominal verbs use a reflexive pronoun, but this can be a misnomer because it doesn't always mean that the action is reflected back on the subject. volver = return volverse = become regresar = return regresarse = return, but usually with the idea of giving something back (only used in Latin America) When used as an infinitive, the reflexive pronoun is suffixed.
