Default Verical antenna with elevated radials when receiving

How does a vertical monopole antenna with elevated quarterwave radials work
when receiving? The radials are in free space. Do the radials reflect or
emit a wave that cancels out? Is it possible to model this antenna in
receive mode with a NEC program? I am trying to work out whether the
electromagnetic principles that apply in transmit mode also apply in receive
mode.
